President Sheikh Mohamed and Turkey's Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan on Friday emphasised the need to halt military escalation in the region, during talks held in Abu Dhabi.
They said diplomacy and dialogue should be prioritised as the UAE and other Gulf states continue to come under heavy bombardment from Iran, state news agency Wam reported.
Mr Fidan set out Turkey's condemnation of Iran's attacks in the region, which he said constituted a breach of state sovereignty and international law and a threat to regional stability.
