Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met on September 12 on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. This was their first face-to-face meeting since the West Asia conflict began on February 28. The meeting comes three weeks after the UAE suspended all trade and financial transactions with Iran on August 19, following Iranian missile attacks targeting Emirati territory. Both leaders discussed regional de-escalation and endorsed the New Delhi Declaration, which called for maximum restraint to protect civilians, sovereignty, trade, and energy flows. However, diplomatic relations remain tense, with the UAE indicating the trade suspension remains in effect.
