Abu dhabi: The United Arab Emirates has expressed deep regret over the UN Security Council's failure to endorse a definitive framework for international cooperation aimed at halting Iran's illegal attacks and threats to the global economy. This comes after the UNSC did not adopt a draft resolution that called for the immediate cessation of all attacks on vessels and attempts to hinder freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Emirates News Agency, the UAE emphasized the critical importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for all and preserving the freedom of navigation. The nation stated that no single country should possess the ability to disrupt the arteries of global commerce, potentially driving the world to the edge of economic disaster.
The UAE highlighted that the Security Council's inaction does not lessen the urgency of the situation or its own determination to address the crisis. The country expressed gratitude to Bahrain for its leadership on the Security Council and its diplomatic efforts. The UAE reaffirmed its commitment to push for international efforts to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz and to collaborate with partners to facilitate coordinated actions that secure navigation and restore the flow of global commerce.
