During the meeting, the two sides discussed ties between the UAE and Indonesia and ways of enhancing their cooperation.
Sheikh Abdullah said the UAE, under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is committed to international efforts to support the process of sustainable development, which will guarantee international stability and prosperity.
