Sheikh Mohamed also received a call from Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani. They discussed developments in the Middle East and "their serious repercussions on its security and stability", as well as Iranian attacks on the UAE and other countries in the region, Wam said.
During the call, Mr Al Sudani condemned the latest attack on the UAE consulate general in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. He said it constitutes a "serious violation of international norms and conventions that guarantee the full protection of diplomatic missions and their premises".
