What they discussed
The parties discussed preparations for the trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi.
"There have been many preparatory steps in recent days: a meeting in Brussels involving NATO and the Europeans, my contacts with representatives of the US President, and virtually continuous contact between the negotiating teams. We believe the meeting in the Emirates must deliver results, and we have submitted our proposals for tangible potential outcomes to the American side," the president said.
He stressed that European security issues must be discussed with the participation of European nations, all of which equally deserve guaranteed security.
