Officials reaffirmed that the security of Saudi Arabia is closely linked to the security of the UAE and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), underscoring the need for a united response to threats against regional stability.
The condemnation aligns with the UAE’s longstanding position of supporting diplomatic solutions to regional conflicts while opposing actions that could escalate tensions. The government called for restraint from all parties and urged renewed efforts to advance dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution.
The statement comes as international attention remains focused on security developments in the Red Sea and the wider Middle East, where shipping routes and critical infrastructure have faced increasing risks. The UAE emphasized the importance of safeguarding international navigation, protecting civilian lives, and preserving economic stability.
Concluding its statement, the UAE reaffirmed its commitment to working with regional and international partners to promote peace, strengthen collective security, and support initiatives aimed at reducing tensions.
