Emirati FM, Blinken discuss ways to boost two-way ties

DUBAI - The foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates discussed developments in Ukraine and ways to strengthen two-way ties during a telephone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday, the state news agency said.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan and Blinken discussed the importance of reaching a political settlement to the Ukrainian crisis, it added.

The UAE abstained last month from a US-led resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the UN Security Council.
