Assad was received upon his arrival at Dubai Airport by sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.

" Talks during the meeting dealt with the overall relations between the two countries and prospects of expanding the circle of bilateral cooperation, particularly at the economic, investment and commercial levels," the Presidency page added.

This comes after a gradual return to relations between Damascus and Abu Dhabi, where officials of the two governments made previous contacts after a rupture lasted for years.
