Ismael Obeid Yusuf Al Ali, Director of the Department of Asian and African Affairs at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Foreign Ministry, received here today Ali Sabti Mohammed Al-Hadithi, Iraqi Ambassador to the UAE.

During the meeting they reviewed the latest developments in the region. Al Ali reiterated the UAE’s fundamental stance of total rejection to military strikes on Iraq and the need to settle the issue peacefully in line with the international legitimacy, so as to enhance security and stability in the region.

The Iraqi ambassador commended the stance of the UAE under the wise leadership of President Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who, he said, repeatedly calls for the amicable settlement of the current crisis, the protection of Iraq’s territorial integrity and respect for its sovereignty, as well as the lifting of sanctions on the Iraqi people.
