President Sheikh Mohamed recently engaged in a phone conversation with Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Advisor, during which they explored the strategic partnership between the UAE and the US. Their discussion also revolved around methods to fortify this relationship, particularly in the realm of development.
In addition to their focus on bilateral ties, the two leaders addressed various regional and international matters of mutual concern, with a particular emphasis on recent events in the Middle East, including those in Gaza and Lebanon. They stressed the necessity of seeking political resolutions to the region's ongoing crises and advocated for measures to prevent further escalation of conflicts.
Moreover, they underscored the critical need for sustained humanitarian assistance to Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan. Moving beyond these pressing issues, they reaffirmed their joint dedication to advancing cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence, a commitment bolstered by the President's recent landmark visit to the US. They also expressed their support for the UAE's newly acquired status as a 'Major Defense Partner' of the US.
