The UAE and Israel have reviewed prospects for consolidating cooperation between the two countries during talks in Abu Dhabi between Dr Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, and Meir Ben-Shabbat, National Security Adviser and Head of the Israeli National Security Council.
Ben-Shabbat is leading an Israeli delegation currently visiting the UAE, a Wam news agency report said.
The two sides discussed ways of promoting peace and stability in the region and deliberated the latest regional developments of concern, with Gargash reiterating that the UAE-Israeli peace accord is a positive step toward advancing prospects for peace in the region.
Gargash added that the accord will establish solid bilateral relations across various fields, namely the economy, science, technology, development, culture and tourism, to the best interests of the two countries and the entire region.
"The accord contributes to suspending Israel's annexation of swathes of Palestinian territory and provides a historic opportunity to return to negotiations as part of our joint endeavours to reach a sustainable peace that ensures regional security and stability," Gargash added.
