Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), made an impromptu visit to Egypt on Sunday to meet with Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi for bilateral talks.
The two leaders emphasised the “need of unified Arab action and unity to address difficulties in the region,” according to a statement from Sisi’s administration.
According to the statement, the two sides also discussed ways to broaden their bilateral cooperation and “promising chances to strengthen their strategic alliance between the two countries.”
The two leaders urged for pursuing discussion and diplomacy to resolve crises and conflicts and discussed a variety of regional and global concerns, according to reports.
The length of the UAE president’s travel to Egypt was not disclosed.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a detrimental impact on the global economy, causing oil and gas prices to reach record highs and harming numerous nations.
