The Al Nahyan plane landed on Thursday afternoon, and a military ceremonial band played in front of the aircraft. The president was received on the aircraft steps by the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, Leader of the Russian Liberal Democratic Party Leonid Slutsky, and the Head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev. Al Nahyan has visited Russia several times since 2022. As the President of the United Arab Emirates, he visited the country four times: in October 2022, in June 2023, and twice in October 2024. He was in Moscow on an official visit on October 20 and 21, and a few days later, he visited Kazan to participate in the BRICS summit. Regular phone communications also occur between the leaders. In 2025, three phone conversations took place in March, May, and June.
