General Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and visiting Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Adel Al Jubeir, discussed on Saturday in Abu Dhabi ways to enhance bilateral ties for realising the mutual and strategic interests under the vision of the countries' leadership for further strengthening these ties.
 
The meeting, which took place at Al Shatti Palace and was attended by Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy National Security Advisor and Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister, reviewed a variety of issues of common concern in relation to advancing the GCC joint action in confronting challenges and bolstering stability, security and development in the region.
 
General Mohamed expressed his deep conviction of the central role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, in the region.

He also voiced his firm belief in Saudi Arabia as a cornerstone which will enable the Arab region overcome the current state of instability.
 
General Mohamed said he was proud of the UAE-Saudi partnership for serving the best interest of the two countries and the region alike, emphasising: ''This is the kind of solidarity which we are always seeking to achieve and aspiring to consolidate.''
 
He said, ''The Saudi leadership's reading of the developments in the region is the same of ours and we can - through the joint action with Riyadh and other fellow countries - achieve a lot in the area of stability of our states and their development and prosperity.''
 
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and the Saudi foreign minister conferred on avenues of coordination and consultation on a number of regional files, the most important of which is the Arab coalition to restore hope and support the legitimate government in Yemen and help it to maintain security and stability in Yemen and confront sabotaging groups which seek to undermine pillars of stability in the region.
 
The two sides affirmed the importance of achieving success in joint efforts to support the legitimacy in Yemen so as to bring good to the Yemeni people and security and stability to the region. They also exchanged views on the latest regional and international developments, particularly the sensitive files in the region.
 
Dr. Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Ali bin Hamaad Al Shamsi, Deputy Secretary-General of the National Security Council, attended the meeting.
