UAE Condemns Deadly Explosion in Central New Delhi
The UAE strongly condemned a bombing in central New Delhi that killed and injured dozens of innocent people. The country's foreign ministry issued a statement rejecting all forms of violence and terrorism while expressing condolences to victims' families and the Indian government.
The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the attack a "criminal act" and reaffirmed the country's consistent opposition to violence that threatens security and stability. This response fits the UAE's broader diplomatic approach of maintaining strong ties with major powers while taking clear stances against terrorism.
The ministry extended condolences to the victims' families and the Indian government, wishing a speedy recovery for those injured in the blast. The statement emphasized the friendship between the UAE and India, reflecting the close economic and diplomatic relationship between the two nations.
India and the UAE have strengthened their partnership significantly in recent years, with bilateral trade reaching over $70 billion annually. The UAE is home to a large Indian expatriate community of more than 3.5 million people, making such incidents particularly significant for UAE-India relations.
The condemnation comes as countries worldwide face ongoing security challenges from various forms of terrorism. The UAE's quick response shows how regional powers are coordinating their messaging against violent attacks, especially when they affect key trading partners and allies.
