Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio underlined the need to secure peace in Sudan during a phone call on Friday.
They stressed the importance of implementing measures proposed by the UAE, US, Egypt and Saudi Arabia - collectively known as the Quad - to bring an end to a deadly civil conflict that has raged since April, 2023.
Discussions also centred on ways to ease the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, as a fragile ceasefire holds after two years of war.
Sheikh Abdullah praised US efforts to promote security and stability in the Middle East and to build towards a sustainable peace, state news agency Wam reported.
Sheikh Abdullah and Mr Rubio also reviewed ways to bolster strategic relations between their countries and to expand co-operation in key areas such as the economy, commercial and scientific fields and artificial intelligence.
