  "summary": "Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on the sidelines of the BRICS Leaders Summit in New Delhi, India. According to the UAE, they discussed regional and international issues of mutual interest, including promoting calm, de-escalation, and stability in the region.\n\nThe BRICS summit, chaired by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adopted the New Delhi Declaration, which called for \"maximum restraint\" in the war in West Asia. The declaration did not directly mention the attacks against Iran by the US and Israel, nor Iran's subsequent strikes on its Persian Gulf neighbours, including the UAE. The meeting was attended by leaders of eight member countries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.\n\nIranian media previously reported that Tehran accused the UAE of direct involvement in military operations against it. The UAE sent a high-level representative to the BRICS meeting, while Brazil sent a similar-level representative. The summit was also attended by leaders of Indonesia, Ethiopia, Egypt, and South Africa.",
