WASHINGTON — Two days after meeting with embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, the United Arab Emirates’ chief diplomat will hold talks with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington.
UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed will meet with Blinken on Tuesday afternoon, according to the State Department. The pair are expected to discuss the humanitarian response to the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria last week, killing more than 36,000 people.
