The two officials also exchanged views on the latest regional and international issues, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and ways to resolve the conflict, said the report.

The meeting came a day after five major agreements related to hydrogen research and development were signed between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, a leading UAE company for hydrogen production, and the German energy companies Hydrogenious and Uniper.

Before arriving in the UAE, Habeck was in Qatar on Sunday to search for alternatives to Russian gas supplies following the US-led sanctions on Russia in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The German minister’s three-day trip to the Middle East was “aimed at finding alternative sources of energy that would help Germany reduce its reliance on Russian oil and gas supplies,” reported German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
