This meeting follows previous discussions between the two leaders, including one in October last year at Qasr Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi, where they reviewed the progress of the UAE and explored ways to support its people towards sustainable growth and prosperity.

A similar meeting took place in May last year, where they deliberated on current and future initiatives in line with the leadership’s vision for the UAE's future.
