Foreign relations of the United Arab Emirates

ABU DHABI - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with UAE President Sheikh Muhamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Monday as part of a working visit to Abu Dhabi.

They discussed numerous topics related to advancement of Serbia-UAE ties.

The two leaders have met over 20 times since 2012 and their most recent meeting took place in Belgrade last October.

 As the world rushed to condemn the Russian invasion of its smaller neighbor, the wealthy Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have largely kept quiet. Middle East experts say their reticence is understandable given what's at play - energy, money and security.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will pay a visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Feb. 14-15 as the countries stepped up to restore ties after years-long strain.

Bilateral relations between Turkey and the UAE will be evaluated in all aspects, and the possibilities of developing cooperation will be discussed during the meetings, said a statement by the presidency.

In a sign of intensified mutual efforts to mend the years-long broken ties, the leaders of Turkey and the United Arab Emirates held a phone conversation to discuss the bilateral ties and regional developments.
