President Sheikh Mohamed received more calls from world leaders offering their support to the UAE after further attacks from Iran.
Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, Prime Minister of Libya's Government of National Unity, was among those to express solidarity with the UAE, which has intercepted and repelled more than 1,000 Iranian strikes.
Mr Dbeibah said the attacks were a serious breach of state sovereignty and undermined regional security and stability, state news agency Wam reported on Thursday. Both leaders called for "an immediate halt to military escalation in the region and a return to the political and diplomatic track to address outstanding issues in a way that preserves regional security and stability".
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev also discussed recent developments with Sheikh Mohamed, condemning the Iranian attacks that took place in Azerbaijan's territory. Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten criticised the attacks against Gulf states during a call with the UAE President.
Sheikh Mohamed also received a call from Tarique Rahman, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, who condemned the attacks and said his country stood in solidarity with the UAE as it defended itself.
Sheikh Mohamed also spoke with Luxembourg's Prime Minister Luc Frieden, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament.
