DUBAI, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Morocco on Sunday pledged to boost mutual cooperation and enhance the bilateral ties in various fields, the state news agency WAM reported.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, UAE's minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, held talks Sunday with visiting Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita over recent regional and international development, the report said.
The UAE diplomat underlined the strong UAE-Moroccan ties and the desire of the two countries' leaders to enhance them in "various domains."
For his part, Bourita hailed the UAE's pioneering role both regionally and internationally, while stressing his country's aspiration to continue to expand cooperation with the UAE in various fields.
The UAE and Morocco are both members of a Saudi-led pan-Arab coalition which has been fighting the Shiite Houthi fighters in Yemen since March 2015.
The coalition, which supports the internationally-recognized Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, accuses the Shiite-dominant Iran of supporting the Houthis.
