During their meeting in UAE's capital Abu Dhabi, they discussed bilateral relations and ways to enhance them to serve their shared interests.
They also touched on several regional and international issues of mutual concern and the events in the Middle East, especially those in the occupied Palestinian territories and the serious repercussions of the Gaza crisis on peace, stability, and security in the region.
