President Sheikh Mohamed and Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar, discussed efforts to bolster co-operation between the Gulf neighbours in a phone call on Thursday.

They reflected on the fraternal relations between the countries and exchanged views on the latest developments in the region.

The UAE and Qatar enjoy long-standing ties stretching back decades, with both countries members of the GCC.

These close links were highlighted when Sheikh Mohamed travelled to Doha to meet Sheikh Tamim in June, only a day after an Israeli attack on the country that targeted Hamas leaders.

Sheikh Mohamed had previously held talks in Doha with Sheikh Tamim in June, to discuss joint efforts to boost partnerships.

In December, the UAE leader had sent a message of congratulations to Sheikh Tamim in celebration of Qatar's National Day.

“Building upon our shared history and deep-rooted partnership, the UAE and Qatar remain united in our continued pursuit of progress and prosperity for our nations, peoples and the wider region,” Sheikh Mohamed wrote on X at the time.
