Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, met with his UAE counterpart, Lana Nusseibeh, for the first time today, his office says.
During their meeting, the two envoys “stressed the importance of deepening cooperation between the countries in order to expand the circle of peace in the Middle East,” according to a statement from Israel’s UN mission.
The ambassadors discussed areas on which the two countries as well as the entire region can cooperate, including the fights against the coronavirus, incitement, extremism on social media, the empowerment of women and environmental protection.
At the end of the meeting held at the Emirati UN mission in New York, Erdan invited Nussiebah to Israel for an official visit, the Israeli mission says.
