Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Al Budaiwi has strongly condemned the Iranian attack that targeted the Port of Fujairah in the UAE.
In a statement, he affirmed that the targeting constitutes a blatant violation of the sovereignty of a GCC member state and causes a serious escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region.
He stressed that targeting vital facilities and infrastructure is unacceptable by all standards, reflecting an approach that disregards the rules of international law and the principles of good neighbourliness.
The Secretary General added that such actions aim to destabilise the security of GCC states, undermine the stability of global energy markets, and pose a direct threat to regional and international supply security, as well as to maritime navigation and international trade.
Al Budaiwi called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in putting an end to these repeated Iranian attacks and to immediately halt irresponsible actions that undermine regional and international peace and security.
He reaffirmed the GCC’s full and steadfast solidarity with the UAE, extending its full support with all measures it takes to protect its security, safeguard its sovereignty, and ensure the safety of its vital facilities.
