Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed welcomed the King of Jordan to his "second home" in the UAE on Wednesday.

The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces met King Abdullah II to discuss efforts to strengthen links between the two nations.

The two men also stressed the importance of Arab unity and maintaining dialogue to overcome the challenges facing the region.

The Jordanian king is a regular visitor to the Emirates.

In July last year, he was greeted by an Emirati guard of honour as he was arrived in the capital.

He was met at Al Bateen Airport by Sheikh Mohamed on that occasion.

The king and Jordanian military commanders also joined Sheikh Mohamed for a joint drill in Al Dhafra in June last year. He also visited the capital the previous month.
