In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation today, the UAE reiterated its full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against all threats to civilians, affirming its support for all measures taken by Saudi authorities to maintain the country's security and stability. The Ministry also affirmed that the security of the UAE and that of Saudi Arabia are indivisible, and any threat facing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is considered a threat to the security and stability of the UAE.
