Abu Dhabi is hosting a quadrilateral meeting this week between Afghanistan, United States, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to finalize an action plan on counter-terrorism, peace and regional cooperation.

Hanif Atmar, Afghanistan's National Security Advisor, arrived in Abu Dhabi on Monday, leading a high-ranking delegation.

He will meet with his US, Saudi and UAE counterparts.

The last such meeting was in March in Washington between the national security advisors of the four countries.

At the time, the National Security Council said Atmar held a four-day quadrilateral meeting and discussed the fight against terrorism, the Afghan peace process and the country’s economic development.

Participants at the meeting expressed their support for the peace process in Afghanistan, emphasizing the need for joint efforts and practical steps in order to achieve success.

National security advisers have decided to identify the issue of terrorist financing and to take common action to eliminate them, the NSC said at the time.

At this meeting, consultations and shared responsibilities were discussed about a specific mechanism needed among the four countries.
