Today I had the pleasure of receiving the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Abdullah. As usual, we had a wide-ranging exchange of views on all issues of common interest. First of all, we discussed our economic cooperation, which is increasingly expanding into new fields. We also took a thorough overview of all issues concerning our region, the Mediterranean, the Gulf, and the Middle East.
I also had the opportunity to brief him on the de-escalation of tensions in Greek-Turkish relations. Aside from that, I had the chance to hear his own thoughts on the situation in the Gulf, relations with Iran, as well as on the broader prospects for enhancing our economic cooperation, as I previously stated.
