Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, held a Sea Palace Barza on Monday where he met with Chechen President, Ramzan Kadyrov, and delegates attending the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities forum.

At Qasr Al Bahr Majlis, Sheikh Mohamed and President Kadyrov discussed issues of mutual concern. The two agreed to develop ties between both countries.

The outspoken leader of Russia's Chechnya republic is a frequent visitor to the Emirates and has previously attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He last visited the UAE during Ramadan, in June, when he attended an iftar reception hosted by Sheikh Mohamed.

The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi also met with participants of the Interfaith Alliance For Safer Communities forum, organised by the Ministry of Interior.

Sheikh Mohamed welcomed the guests and said he hoped the forum would contribute to protecting communities, particularly children, from various forms of crime through the digital world.

The Sea Palace barza was attended by a number of UAE ministers and senior officials, according to state news agency Wam.
