In a Friday phone call that's stirring regional buzz, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan doubled down on Emirati support for Syria's independence, declaring solidarity with its sovereignty 'down to the last grain of desert sand.'
The leaders reportedly explored boosting UAE-Syria cooperation, with eyes on mutual interests like economic revival and humanitarian aid. 'We’re all about creating stability here,' the UAE president emphasized, signaling support for efforts to improve Syrians' lives amid ongoing challenges.
This comes as Syria's recent leadership shuffle triggers a diplomatic marathon across the Middle East. From Turkish envoys to Qatari delegates, Damascus is suddenly the hottest RSVP in town. Even Syria's interim FM Asaad al-Shibani is racking up frequent flyer miles, touring Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and the UAE to lobby against Western sanctions.
Analysts call this the 'Great Thaw' – Arab states rebuilding bridges with Syria after years of frosty relations. For young professionals tracking Mideast markets? Watch those sanction updates closely.
