UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has expressed hope that the Iran-Israel ceasefire would serve as a step towards renewed regional security during a call with Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker.

The two leaders reaffirmed that diplomacy remains the only viable path to resolving the current crisis and safeguarding long-term peace and stability in the region.

Sheikh Mohamed and Stocker also explored opportunities to strengthen UAE-Austria relations within the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) between the two countries, in a manner that supports mutual growth and prosperity for the two nations.

The Emirati-Austrian relationship, which spans five decades, continues to deepen under the CSP established in 2021. The partnership aims to enhance cooperation across key sectors, including political, diplomatic, security, economic and technological fields.

This follows a recent phone call between Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Austria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Beate Meinl-Reisinger, during which they discussed ways to further strengthen bilateral relations.
