The two leaders also discussed latest developments in the Middle East, stressed the importance of joint Arab action to maintain regional stability, and the importance of working to find a path to just, comprehensive and lasting peace based on the "two-state solution."

The Saudi Crown Prince is visiting the Emirates after 3 years. In 2021, he arrived in Abu Dhabi on a two-day state visit where he was received by Sheikh Mohamed, the then Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

Earlier this year, the Saudi Crown Prince extended an invitation to President Sheikh Mohamed to attend the Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh. The two countries have long shared "deep bonds of friendship", which the UAE President recently emphasised on the occasion of Saudi National Day.

The two countries hold a shared vision of development, and prosperity for the people of both nations, the UAE President, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, said earlier, in September 2024.
