President Sheikh Mohamed offered his condolences following the death of Salem Issa Al Qattam Al Zaabi, the UAE's former ambassador to Iraq.
The UAE leader extended his sympathies to the family members of the diplomat at a majlis in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Sheikh Mohamed praised the ambassador's distinguished career in service of his country, and he said that he embodied "dedication, generosity and professionalism throughout his life", state news agency Wam reported.
He was accompanied on his visit by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohamed, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Special Affairs; Dr Ahmed Al Mazrouei, Chairman of the President's Office for Strategic Affairs and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office; and other senior officials.
Mr Al Zaabi's age and the date and cause of his death were not disclosed.
