UAE condemns attack on Saudi cultural mission in Khartoum

The UAE has strongly condemned the storming of Saudi Arabia's cultural attaché mission in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.

The attack by an armed group resulted in vandalisation and theft of property.

The UAE stressed the importance of protecting diplomatic missions according to the norms and charters that govern and regulate diplomatic work.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) expressed the UAE's strong condemnation of these criminal acts, and its permanent rejection of all forms of violence aimed at undermining security and stability in contravention of humanitarian values and principles.

The Ministry emphasised the importance of intensifying efforts to secure a ceasefire and to return to dialogue to achieve progress in the transitional phase, in order to ensure political stability and security in Sudan.
