Ebtisam Al Ketbi, head of Emirates Policy Centre in the UAE, stressed the importance of cooperation between Russia and the UAE in the fight against extremist organizations.
"Our ties with Russia have strengthened. Moscow and Abu Dhabi share the same sense of urgency as regards the fight against terrorism and the need to take effective action to ease tension in hot spots. In this regard, Russia has been pursuing a policy to mitigate the threat of terrorism and extremism relying on UN and UN Security Council resolutions," she told the delegates.
Ibtisam said that cooperation between Moscow and Abu Dhabi could serve as a role model of diplomatic ties between countries.
She also said that the Islamic world has been going through unprecedented tribulations recently, including fraternal wars.
