During the BRICS summit in India, UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, marking their first high-level talks since the onset of the US-Israel war with Iran. The meeting comes after the UAE suspended trade with Iran, emphasizing the need for rebuilding trust through actions rather than words. Both leaders expressed a commitment to reducing tensions and enhancing regional stability, while also addressing broader concerns about trade and energy security in the Middle East.
