Mohammad Bin Zayed to visit Moscow on Thursday

Abu Dhabi: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, will visit Moscow on Thursday. He is on an official visit to Russia.

Shaikh Mohammad will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on bilateral relations and ways to expand avenues of cooperation between both countries. The two leaders will also discuss a number of regional and international issues of mutual concern.

In October 2015, Shaikh Mohammad visited Moscow where he discussed with Putin regional issues with emphasis on the conflict in Syria and security in the Middle East.

During the meeting, both leaders discussed friendship and cooperation, and ways to strengthen them, as well as regional and international issues of mutual concern.

The October meeting was the highest-level contact between the Kremlin and a Gulf Arab official since Russia began a campaign of air strikes to support Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.
