Senior diplomats review regional situation and bilateral ties

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, held a telephone conversation on 14 September 2026 with Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al‑Ahmad Al‑Sabah, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the sisterly State of Kuwait.

The two ministers discussed overall regional developments and the situation in the Middle East. They also addressed a number of issues of mutual interest connected to the deep‑rooted fraternal relations between the two countries.

The exchange underlined the ongoing diplomatic engagement between Abu Dhabi and Kuwait on matters of shared concern. Such contacts form part of a long tradition of cooperation between the UAE and the State of Kuwait, reflecting close political and diplomatic ties and regular consultation on regional affairs.

While the conversation was held by phone, it reinforced established channels of communication used by the UAE leadership in Abu Dhabi to coordinate with Gulf and wider Arab partners. Ministers from both capitals frequently confer on topics that affect regional stability and on bilateral initiatives that strengthen state‑to‑state cooperation.

Officials in Abu Dhabi routinely cite these periodic consultations as an essential element of the UAE’s foreign policy approach, which emphasises dialogue with regional partners, diplomatic coordination and efforts to promote stability across the Middle East. The contact with Kuwait’s foreign minister is consistent with that approach and with longstanding relations between the two brotherly nations.

Neither side released additional details of the call beyond the areas discussed, and no formal announcements of agreements or follow‑up mechanisms were published by either ministry at the time of reporting.

The telephone conversation adds to a pattern of sustained diplomatic interaction anchored in mutual respect and shared regional interests. It also reflects Abu Dhabi’s role in maintaining active bilateral and multilateral channels to address developments that affect the Gulf and the broader Middle East.
