Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday, where he met with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in oil-rich Abu Dhabi.
Fidan was received at the presidential palace by Sheikh Mohamed, who also serves as president of Abu Dhabi, where the two men discussed bilateral ties.
According to diplomatic sources cited by Turkish state media, talks focused on the current state of Türkiye-UAE relations, which, the sources said, had have improved dramatically after a period of earlier tension.
While in Abu Dhabi, Fidan also met with Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who serves as both UAE foreign minister and the country’s deputy prime minister.
In a statement released after the meeting, the UAE’s foreign ministry said the two men had discussed means of enhancing bilateral cooperation within the framework of the “strategic relations that unite the two countries.”
At the meeting, Sheikh Abdullah hailed what he described as the “depth of the friendly relations” that currently exist between the UAE and Türkiye, according to the ministry statement.
Sheikh Abdullah added that the UAE and Türkiye share an “advanced and productive strategic partnership” across a range of fields, stressing both countries’ desire to further develop relations.
The meeting also reviewed the latest regional and international developments, with both sides exchanging views on issues of “common concern,” according to the UAE foreign ministry.
In the talks with his Turkish counterpart, Sheikh Abdullah stressed the need to support efforts aimed at achieving security and stability – at both the regional and international levels – and ensuring lasting peace in the Middle East.
Fidan’s visit to the UAE comes amid steadily mounting regional tensions, including fears of a possible U.S. attack on Iran and an unprecedented political rift between the UAE and neighboring Saudi Arabia.
