The Government of Maldives strongly condemns the launch of multiple missile and drone attacks targeted towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on 23 and 24 January 2022.
The recent escalation and continuation of such acts of terrorism targeting civilian areas and economic infrastructure demonstrate a threat to the security of the region and the wider world. These attacks also hinder the ongoing peace efforts being made by the concerned parties and the international community to resolve the conflicts in the region.
The Government of Maldives reaffirms its solidarity with the brotherly people and the Governments of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and reiterates its steadfast commitment to the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
