Arab leaders have convened at a G7 leaders' meeting in France to discuss an Iran-US agreement announced earlier in the week.
President Sheikh Mohamed was greeted by the hosts at the Hotel Royal in Evian-les-Bains, a spa town close to the Swiss border.
Sheikh Mohamed attended a lunch on ensuring stability in the Middle East with G7 leaders, alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim.
President Emmanuel Macron held talks with Sheikh Mohamed at the venue. “The two leaders reviewed the long-standing ties between the UAE and France and discussed ways to expand co-operation, particularly in the fields of investment, technology, artificial intelligence, energy, and culture, within the framework of the two countries’ strategic partnership,” a report on state news agency Wam said.
“They also exchanged views on a number of issues of mutual interest, with a particular focus on the latest developments in the Middle East.”
The G7 follows US President Donald Trump's statement that the Iran-US agreement will allow the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Friday.
The deal has been signed electronically by Mr Trump, US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
Mr Trump said the details of the agreement could be released after a meeting on Friday in Geneva to kick-start broader talks on Iran's nuclear programme over the next 60 days.
Shortly after arriving at the summit, Mr Trump, alongside G7 host Mr Macron, said mine clearance operations had started in the Strait of Hormuz.
France is seeking approval from the US and Iran to launch a defensive operation in the strait to provide security for merchant ships. The UK is co-leading an international naval force of about 50 states to secure the waterway.
Mr Trump said it was “not a bad idea to have a ship or two up here from a few countries”. He added: “I don’t think we’re going to need much help because we’ll have an agreement where it’s going to be open and it’s toll-free.”
