In a recent phone conversation, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis addressed the implications of the ongoing conflict involving Iran on both regional security and international maritime movements. Their discussion centered around the escalating tensions and the resulting disruptions, particularly in the critical shipping passage of the Strait of Hormuz.
Amid growing regional challenges, the two leaders exchanged views on addressing these issues and emphasized their commitment to maintaining stability in the area. Both leaders underscored the importance of continued cooperation to mitigate the impact of these conflicts on international trade routes.
During their call, Sheikh Mohamed and Prime Minister Mitsotakis also affirmed their dedication to enhancing the UAE-Greece Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This commitment includes expanding cooperation in vital sectors such as trade, investment, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy, reflecting the strong bilateral ties between the two nations.
This conversation follows Prime Minister Mitsotakis’s visit to Abu Dhabi in May, where the UAE and Greece celebrated 50 years of diplomatic relations. During that visit, both countries signed agreements aimed at bolstering collaboration in technology and artificial intelligence, marking a significant milestone in their partnership.
