UAE rulers line up for Sisi

Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan hosted President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on 25 September, during a visit by the Egyptian leader to the UAE that was notable for its exceptionally warm welcome. According to a statement published by the Emirates News Agency (WAM), the leaders discussed “combatting terrorism and eliminating the financing of extremist groups” – no doubt Qatar was high on their agenda. The two sides also agreed to concentrate efforts on “eliminating interference in the internal affairs of various Arab countries”.
