Minister Czaputowicz congratulated his Emirati counterpart on successful negotiations and voiced his support for the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel pointing out that it is necessary to enhance cooperation between the countries of the region in order to overcome its fundamental problems, including the impasse in the Middle East Peace Process.
