The former president lashes out at his political opponents, calling them the 'enemy within'
A practical and realistic policy can be adopted while working towards peace in the region, a top Emirati official said on Saturday.
Dr Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic advisor to the President of the UAE and chairman of the National Human Rights Committee, said communication and dialogue can resolve crises in the Arab world.
He tweeted, "The UAE continues to adopt a realistic policy towards reducing tensions without compromising the efforts of those who are working to reduce crises and strife."
Dr Gargash used the example of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's recent visit to the UAE. He said the Emirati policy of openness and dialogue at a regional level could restore peace in the region.
UAE leaders welcomed Al Assad to the Emirates on Friday. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, received Al-Assad, at Al Marmoom Rest House, Dubai.
