The official Emirates News Agency, WAM, reported that Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed stressed, during the call, the importance of reducing escalation and advancing diplomatic efforts and paths to address the existing tensions, thus contributing to consolidating security and stability in the region.
This Emirati-Iranian communication comes within the framework of continuous diplomatic movements to keep pace with regional developments, in conjunction with a series of contacts conducted by the Iranian minister with a number of foreign ministers of countries in the region, in light of relentless regional and international efforts to prevent the escalation of crises and expand channels of dialogue.
