The UAE previously supported Syrian rebels in the country’s long-running civil war. Sheikh Abdullah reportedly made clear to Assad that the Emirates supports a political solution to the civil war.
Sheikh Abdullah last visited Damascus in November 2021, when the UAE and Syria first began to reestablish new relations. Five months later, Assad visited the UAE.
