Highlighting the key role of the United States in promoting regional security, Sheikh Khaled noted that the summit reaffirmed the deep-rooted partnership between the two sides and their joint commitment to fostering peace and prosperity.
He also commended President Trump's administration for its efforts in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, underscoring the importance of dialogue as the only viable path to resolving conflicts and enhancing relations across South Asia.
Sheikh Khaled praised ongoing international efforts to achieve sustainable and peaceful solutions to regional and global crises. In this context, he expressed optimism over the recent diplomatic engagements between the United States and Iran, reaffirming the UAE’s support for efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions and fostering regional stability.
