General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and Senegalese Minister of Interior Abdoulaye Daouda Diallo, discussed on Sunday security issues of common concern, reported the Emirati state news agency WAM.

General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), also discussed with Diallo ways of bolstering and promoting relations between the Gulf Arab state and the West African country.

Several officers attended the meeting which took place at the Ministry of Interior in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital, including Major General Dr. Nasser Lakhrebani Al-Nuaimi, Secretary-General of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, as well as Major General Mohammed bin Al-Awadhi Al-Menhali, Assistant Under-Secretary of Resources and Support Services, said WAM.

Diallo and his delegation also visited Hedayah, The International Center of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) in Abu Dhabi.

Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, Hedayah's Steering Board Chairman, welcomed the visitors to the center, highlighting the significance of the visit as an opportunity to explore potential collaboration between Hedayah and Senegalese institutes.
