President Sheikh Mohamed on Wednesday met King Abdullah II of Jordan in Abu Dhabi where they reviewed the latest developments in Syria.
The two leaders reiterated their firm stance towards Syria’s unity, stability, sovereignty and territorial integrity, state news agency Wam reported, as they called for national institutions to be preserved and said Syria’s stability is a strategic interest for the Arab world.
They also stressed the need to intensify efforts to enhance regional stability and prevent the expansion of conflict, as King Abdullah praised the UAE’s efforts in supporting such goals.
Their meeting followed comments from Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the President, who said on Wednesday that the UAE “presents a successful regional model to be emulated” amid a battle for control in Syria, after the fall of Bashar Al Assad.
Hayat Tahrir Al Sham may have established itself as the leading authority in Damascus but the situation remains far from certain with Turkish-backed rebels advancing across north-eastern Syria attempting to take territory controlled by US-backed Kurdish militias.
However, Dr Gargash said that the UAE will never be a nation telling “anyone what to do” and that the country’s years of success amount to a message “stronger than any slogans or ideologies”.
The meeting was also attended by Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, Crown Prince of Jordan.
King Abdullah arrived in the country on Wednesday, where he was received at Al Bateen Airport by Sheikh Mohamed and several senior officials.

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs
