The United Arab Emirates and Japan on Thursday (May 22) extended strong support to India’s global outreach campaign against terrorism, voicing solidarity with New Delhi in the wake of the deadly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people.
UAE’s unwavering support
The UAE reaffirmed its unwavering support for India, with senior Emirati lawmaker Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi calling terrorism a “global threat” and an “evil for all humanity”. Al Nuaimi made the remarks after meeting an Indian all-party parliamentary delegation led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde in Abu Dhabi.
“Terrorism is a threat not just to a single nation or region, but it is a global threat,” said Al Nuaimi, who chairs the UAE Federal National Council’s Defence, Interior and Foreign Affairs Committee. “We are already cooperating with India on efforts to fight terrorism. The security of Indian nationals is non-negotiable. India is a strategic partner, not just with the government but also its people.”
