‘Kingdom spares no effort in support of UAE against any threat’

AMMAN — Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Sunday met with the UAE’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi to discuss regional developments and ways of furthering bilateral relations.
