I believe the answer is:

handshake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cordial greeting' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'holland's leader and arab leader read out' is the wordplay.
'holland's leader' becomes 'h' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'arab leader' becomes 'sheik' (I've seen this in another clue).
'read out' shows a homophone (sound like).
'sheik' sounds like 'shake'.
'h'+'and'+'shake'='HANDSHAKE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for handshake that I've seen before include "Conventional greeting of manual kind" , "acknowledgment" , "Gesture of greeting or of agreeing a deal" , "Form of greeting" , "introductory offer?" .)
