Abdullah introduced the current regional situation and UAE's position, stating that the UAE is not a party to the war and has always been committed to maintaining regional peace and stability, and should not be attacked. The UAE thanked China for its just position and highly valued China's important role, welcoming the Chinese special envoy's efforts in the region to mediate, and expressed willingness to work with China to promote the easing of the regional situation. The UAE highly values and will fully protect the safety of Chinese personnel and institutions in the UAE.

Zhai Jun stated that China is deeply concerned about the spread of war throughout the entire Gulf region. China has always believed that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of all countries in the Gulf region should be respected, and any attacks on civilians and non-military targets should be condemned. War and chaos in the region do not benefit any side, and achieving a ceasefire and ending the war is the fundamental way out of the current predicament. Since the outbreak of the conflict, the UAE has responded calmly and responsibly by maintaining restraint, which China appreciates, and is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with the UAE to work together with all parties involved to promote an early ceasefire and end to the war. It is hoped that the UAE will continue to fully ensure the safety of Chinese personnel and institutions in the UAE.

During the visit, Special Envoy Zhai Jun also met with UAE President's Special Envoy for China Affairs Khalidoun, and exchanged in-depth views on further promoting the development of bilateral relations.
