In a telephone call on Sunday, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan discussed cooperation amid the spread of the coronavirus with Pope Francis, the spiritual leader of more than a billion Catholics around the world.

The Crown Prince expressed his hope that Italy and the Vatican will overcome the crisis and stressed the support of the United Arab Emirates, according to the UAE’s state news agency WAM.

Both leaders called on “the spirit of brotherhood, harmony and initiative” to confront the global challenge of the coronavirus and talked about ways to adopt the principles of the landmark interfaith “Document on Human Fraternity,” signed by the pope and Egypt’s Grand Imam of al-Azhar Dr. Ahmad al-Tayeb in Abu Dhabi last year.
