President Sheikh Mohamed received a phone call from US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, during which the two leaders discussed co-operation and ways to strengthen ties between their countries.
Sheikh Mohamed and Mr Trump also discussed the latest developments in the Middle East and continuing efforts to address them.
The US-Iran conflict is continuing and a two-month window for peace talks recently ended without progress towards resolving the war.
On Monday, Sheikh Mohamed met Sultan Haitham of Oman in Abu Dhabi to discuss regional security and ways to bolster their countries' economic ties.
The leaders agreed on the importance of continued co-operation over shared regional challenges and emphasised the need for stronger partnerships to protect security and stability.
They also discussed their long-standing bilateral relationship.
Also on Tuesday, the US Department of State reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser.
“The two discussed a number of regional security issues, including Lebanon, as well as continued US-UAE co-ordination to hold Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable for ongoing attacks,” the US State Department said.
“Secretary Rubio underscored the importance of freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.”
UAE condemns attack on Iraqi Kurdistan
The UAE Foreign Ministry on Tuesday condemned an Iranian drone attack on Iraq's Kurdistan region.
Two explosives-laden drones targeted the office of Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the home of a senior security official in Erbil.
“This act of aggression constitutes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and a threat to their security and stability,” the ministry said in a statement.
The drones were launched from Iran’s border area shortly after midnight on Monday. There were no reported casualties or major damage. Mr Barzani described the strikes as a “dangerous escalation”.
