The Government of Maldives strongly condemns the cowardly attack on the petroleum tank farms at the Ras Tanura Port in the Eastern Region, and the attempted attacks targeting Saudi Aramco’s residential area in the city of Dhahran, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This deliberate cowardly act targeting civilian areas and economic infrastructure clearly violates international laws and threatens the security of the Kingdom and the region together with the stability of global energy supplies. Such deplorable acts of terrorism also negatively impact the positive developments in finding peaceful solutions to the conflicts in the region.
The Government of Maldives reaffirms its solidarity with the brotherly people and the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and reiterates its steadfast commitment to the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
