On April 7, a telephone conversation took place between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
A confidential exchange of views was held regarding the ongoing unprecedented escalation of the military-political situation in the Persian Gulf region. The importance of an immediate cessation of hostilities, which are causing human casualties and inflicting serious damage on vital civilian infrastructure, including in countries not participating in the armed confrontation, was emphasized. Both sides confirmed their mutual commitment to maintaining close foreign policy coordination between Moscow and Abu Dhabi in order to facilitate a peaceful resolution of the crisis in the Middle East on the basis of international law and with unconditional consideration of the legitimate interests of the states in the region.
During the conversation, certain current issues related to the further development of Russian-Emirati strategic partnership were also considered, in line with the implementation of the agreements reached during the high-level talks.
