UAE Condemns Terrorist Attack on Its Consulate in Iraq

The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned and denounced the unprovoked terrorist drone attack that targeted the UAE Consulate General in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq for the second time in a week. The attack resulted in injuries to two security personnel and damage to the consulate building. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) stressed that targeting diplomatic missions and premises constitutes a flagrant violation of international norms and laws, particularly the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which guarantees the inviolability of diplomatic premises and the protection of diplomatic personnel. Such acts represent a dangerous escalation and a threat to regional security and stability. The UAE has called on the Government of the Republic of Iraq and the Government of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to investigate the circumstances surrounding this attack, identify those responsible, and take all necessary measures to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable. The Ministry reiterated the UAE's firm rejection of terrorist attacks aimed at undermining security and stability, emphasising the necessity of protecting diplomatic premises, missions, and their personnel in accordance with international laws and norms. Jordan strongly condemned on Saturday an attack on the United Arab Emirates' Consulate General in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq for the second time in a week, which injured two security members and damaged the building. In a statement carried by Jordan News Agency (Petra), the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs stressed the need to respect international law, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which guarantee the protection of diplomatic missions and staff. The Ministry reiterated Jordan's full solidarity and support for the sisterly UAE.
