Statement by the Government of Maldives on the multiple attacks targeted towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The Government of Maldives strongly condemns the attempted ballistic missile attack targeted towards Riyadh, and the multiple aerial attacks towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on 27 and 28 February 2021.

These deliberate and systematic acts of terrorism, which appears to target civilian areas and infrastructure threatens the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and exhibits the elevated threat to the stability of the region. Continuation and surge of such attacks indicates the urgent need for constructive engagement by the parties concerned to find 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.
