Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed and the French president have expressed their support for an initiative which has called for an immediate ceasefire in Libya.
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Emmanuel Macron discussed the crisis in Libya during a phone call over the weekend.
They spoke about their support for the Cairo Declaration, which backs a swift halt in fighting.
And they both agreed on the importance of resolving the situation through peaceful means, according to a statement on Wam.
They also spoke about the importance of demonstrating full commitment to the political process through the UN and the Berlin Conference on Libya to ensure the country's unity, preserve its resources, and guarantee its people's rights to development, stability and peace.
In addition, “they also welcomed the resumption of dialogue between the disputing parties in Libya as part of the Libyan Joint Military Commission,” said the statement.
The pair also discussed ways of further developing the strategic partnership between UAE and France, as well as the latest developments in the Gulf, wider Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea, and the global fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

INDIA'S%20TOP%20INFLUENCERS
Dr Amal Khalid Alias revealed a recent case of a woman with daughters, who specifically wanted a boy.
A semen analysis of the father showed abnormal sperm so the couple required IVF.
Out of 21 eggs collected, six were unused leaving 15 suitable for IVF.
A specific procedure was used, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection where a single sperm cell is inserted into the egg.
On day three of the process, 14 embryos were biopsied for gender selection.
The next day, a pre-implantation genetic report revealed four normal male embryos, three female and seven abnormal samples.
Day five of the treatment saw two male embryos transferred to the patient.
The woman recorded a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.
