WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and visiting United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan discussed regional issues Tuesday including Mideast peace, the State Department said.
Nearly one month after their last meeting in London, the two diplomats reaffirmed their commitment "to comprehensive peace, and to the common objective of achieving a two state solution in which Israelis and Palestinians live side by side in peace and security," a Department statement read.
They also discussed "the challenges posed by Iran's increasingly disturbing and destabilizing actions" and the importance of "working with the international community to address these issues."
Clinton and Sheikh Abdullah al-Nahayan also agreed to continue their "close cooperation to help stabilize and support Yemen," and discussed the UAE's "leadership role" in providing financial, political and security support to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The two also discussed UAE aid for quake-devastated Haiti, and the emirates' "progressive policies aimed at empowering women," the statement read.
