Kävin tänään puhelinkeskustelut Yhdistyneiden arabiemiirikuntien presidentin @MohamedBinZayed , Egyptin presidentin @AlsisiOfficial sekä Qatarin pääministerin @MBA_AlThani_ kanssa. Keskustelimme puheluissa Lähi-idän tilanteesta ja Venäjän hyökkäyssodasta Ukrainassa, sekä muista ajankohtaisista aiheista. Rauhan ja vakauden edistäminen on tärkeää sekä Euroopassa että Lähi-idässä. Olemme myös valmiita tekemään töitä näiden tavoitteiden eteen.

Today, I had fruitful discussions with the President of the United Arab Emirates @MohamedBinZayed , the President of Egypt @AlsisiOfficial and the Prime Minister of Qatar @MBA_AlThani_ We discussed a broad range of topics, including the Middle East and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine as well opportunies for strengthening bilateral cooperation. The common denominator in all these calls was the recognition of the need to promote peace and stability in both regions, and the readiness to work towards these goals.
