FM Szijjarto announced that he had a phone conversation with Abdullah bin Zayed, the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates, during which they reviewed the regional situation.

We paid particular attention to the issues that will also be on the agenda at next week’s EU Foreign Ministers' Council meeting. We agreed that the international community must do everything in its power to ensure that peace, calm, and stability return to the Middle East and to prevent the advance of extremist movements,
