Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday described the attack on a major oil hub in the United Arab Emirates as 'unacceptable' and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in the region. The incident, which occurred at the Fujairah port, has raised concerns about the security of global energy supplies.
Strong Condemnation
In a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office, Modi expressed deep concern over the attack and reiterated India's support for the UAE's sovereignty and territorial integrity. 'The attack on the Fujairah oil facility is unacceptable. We call for an immediate halt to all such actions that threaten peace and stability in the region,' the statement read.
Global Implications
The Fujairah port is a crucial energy hub, serving as a key outlet for oil exports from the Gulf region. Any disruption there could have significant repercussions for global oil markets. India, as one of the world's largest importers of crude oil, is particularly sensitive to such developments.
The attack comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with several incidents targeting oil infrastructure in recent weeks. The international community has been urged to take decisive action to prevent further escalation.
India has historically maintained close ties with the UAE, and this incident is likely to strengthen bilateral cooperation on security matters. The two nations have been working together on various fronts, including counter-terrorism and energy security.
