Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, has discussed ways to enhance collaboration across key sectors with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan.
During a phone call, the two ministers explored opportunities that support sustainable development in both countries.
The discussion follows an April meeting in Abu Dhabi between UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan at Qasr Al Bahr, where they discussed ways to strengthen economic and investment cooperation.
At the time, Sheikh Mohamed had expressed hope that peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan would enhance stability and prosperity in the region.
It was in March that the two countries had finalised the text of a historic peace agreement to end decades of war over the Karabakh region. However, signing of the agreement remains to be defined.
On May 17, leaders from both sides held a brief discussion in Tirana during the European Political Community Summit, showcasing momentum in the talks. Armenia had then issued a statement saying that both sides “underlined the need for continued progress towards signing” the peace agreement between the two countries.
