In a gesture reflecting the United Arab Emirates' commitment to regional unity and cooperation, President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan held phone conversations today with three key Arab leaders to exchange Eid Al-Fitr greetings.
Sheikh Mohamed spoke with Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, President of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania; Kais Saied, President of Tunisia; and Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani, Prime Minister of Iraq.
The conversations served as both a traditional exchange of festive wishes and an opportunity to reaffirm strategic and diplomatic ties between the UAE and these nations.
The leaders conveyed mutual wishes for health, prosperity, and stability for their respective countries and citizens, while also emphasizing the importance of Eid as a moment of unity, reflection, and solidarity across the Muslim world.
More significantly, the calls underscored a shared vision for a stable and cooperative Arab region. The four leaders reiterated their support for ongoing efforts to foster peace, deepen regional partnerships, and confront shared challenges, particularly in light of growing geopolitical tensions and the need for coordinated development strategies.
The UAE continues to position itself as a diplomatic bridge in the Arab world, using occasions such as Eid to reinforce both cultural bonds and political alliances in pursuit of long-term regional stability and prosperity.
