Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte have discussed ways to strengthen relations between their countries.
In a call between the two on Thursday, they discussed their participation in the G20 Riyadh Summit to be chaired by Saudi Arabia.
Sheikh Mohamed and Mr Conte also discussed global developments in the fight against Covid-19, including vaccine updates and how important global co-operation is to ensure everyone is inoculated.
The two also reviewed the latest regional developments.
In April, the UAE sent 10 tonnes of medical supplies to Italy to help medics tackle coronavirus.
The shipment was to support more than 10,000 doctors and nurses.

Tomorrow 2021
Pharaoh's curse
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
