The president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has reaffirmed the country’s strong support for Syria’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

The UAE president reaffirmed this during his meeting at Al Shati Palace in Abu Dhabi with visiting Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, according to a statement.

He welcomed Mr Al-Sharaa and wished him success in leading Syria through the next phase, expressing hope that the Syrian people would realise their aspirations for development, security, and stability.

“Stability and security in Syria serve the interests of the entire region,” the UAE president stated, affirming that his country will spare no effort in supporting Syria and its people in the coming period.

The two leaders emphasised the fraternal relations between the UAE and Syria and explored ways to enhance cooperation for the benefit of both peoples.

They also reviewed several regional issues of mutual concern.

Mr Al-Sharaa arrived in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, accompanied by Syria’s foreign affairs chief, Asaad Al-Shaibani, and other senior officials.
