In addition, Russia also needs the UAE as its important partner in the Middle East to promote OPEC+ cooperation and ensure the stability of the global oil market.

However, Putin's visit was not just for the sake of economic cooperation. His meeting with the UAE** will also cover topics such as the situation in Ukraine and the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This shows that Putin is not only concerned about economic cooperation, but also is committed to solving current international hotspot issues. By working closely with the UAE, Putin may hope to make some progress in resolving these issues.
