His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has explored ways to enhance economic and investment cooperation during his talks with Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali.
Dr Ali, who is currently on a working visit to the UAE, has condemned the blatant Iranian attacks that continue to target the UAE and other countries in the region, noting that they constitute a violation of state sovereignty and international law.
He also affirmed his country's solidarity with the UAE in all measures it takes to safeguard its security, territorial integrity, and the safety of its people.
The meeting also highlighted the need to halt the ongoing escalation in the region and pursue diplomatic efforts to defuse the crisis and avoid further repercussions.
Sheikh Mohammed thanked Dr Ali for his country’s supportive stance and conveyed his sincere condolences after death toll from the devastating floods and landslides climbed to 80 in southern Ethiopia.
