Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, on Monday expressed his solidarity with Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan following last week's Lahore blast.
During the phone call, Sheikh Mohamed strongly condemned the deadly blast in the country's second largest city.
Sheikh Mohamed also offered the UAE's support to Pakistan and its people in their fight against all forms of violence and terrorism that breach human values and the international law.
He said criminal acts carried out by terrorist and extremist groups emphasise the need for unified international efforts to fight terrorism and put an end to crimes that threaten international security and stability.
Sheikh Mohamed also expressed his condolences to the Pakistani government, its people and the victims' families and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
Mr Khan thanked Sheikh Mohamed for his gesture, which reflects the deep-rooted ties between the two friendly countries.
He wished Sheikh Mohamed good health and happiness and the UAE continued progress, prosperity and safety.
The bomb blast targeted a busy shopping district in Lahore and killed at least two people, including a nine-year-old, and wounded 22 others, Pakistani officials said.
UAE gold medallists:
Omar Al Suweidi (46kg), Khaled Al Shehhi (50kg), Khalifa Humaid Al Kaabi (60kg), Omar Al Fadhli (62kg), Mohammed Ali Al Suweidi (66kg), Omar Ahmed Al Hosani (73), all in the U18’s, and Khalid Eskandar Al Blooshi (56kg) in the U21s.

Uefa Nations League: How it works
The Uefa Nations League, introduced last year, has reached its final stage, to be played over five days in northern Portugal. The format of its closing tournament is compact, spread over two semi-finals, with the first, Portugal versus Switzerland in Porto on Wednesday evening, and the second, England against the Netherlands, in Guimaraes, on Thursday.
The winners of each semi will then meet at Porto’s Dragao stadium on Sunday, with the losing semi-finalists contesting a third-place play-off in Guimaraes earlier that day.
Qualifying for the final stage was via League A of the inaugural Nations League, in which the top 12 European countries according to Uefa's co-efficient seeding system were divided into four groups, the teams playing each other twice between September and November. Portugal, who finished above Italy and Poland, successfully bid to host the finals.
