President Sheikh Mohamed on Tuesday received Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla, Supreme Council member and Ruler of Umm Al Quwain.
During the meeting, which took place at Qasr Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi, they discussed a number of issues related to the affairs of the nation and its citizens, state news agency Wam reported.
The meeting was also attended by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court.
It follows Sheikh Mohamed’s working visit to Jordan on Sunday, on which he met King Abdullah II in Amman. The two nations signed a comprehensive economic partnership agreement, the UAE’s first with another Arab country. The deal is aimed at deepening trade ties between the countries.

Country-size land deals
US interest in purchasing territory is not as outlandish as it sounds. Here's a look at some big land transactions between nations:
Louisiana Purchase
If Donald Trump is one who aims to broker "a deal of the century", then this was the "deal of the 19th Century". In 1803, the US nearly doubled in size when it bought 2,140,000 square kilometres from France for $15 million.
Florida Purchase Treaty
The US courted Spain for Florida for years. Spain eventually realised its burden in holding on to the territory and in 1819 effectively ceded it to America in a wider border treaty.
Alaska purchase
America's spending spree continued in 1867 when it acquired 1,518,800 km2 of Alaskan land from Russia for $7.2m. Critics panned the government for buying "useless land".
The Philippines
At the end of the Spanish-American War, a provision in the 1898 Treaty of Paris saw Spain surrender the Philippines for a payment of $20 million.
US Virgin Islands
It's not like a US president has never reached a deal with Denmark before. In 1917 the US purchased the Danish West Indies for $25m and renamed them the US Virgin Islands.
Gwadar
The most recent sovereign land purchase was in 1958 when Pakistan bought the southwestern port of Gwadar from Oman for 5.5bn Pakistan rupees.
