#WATCH | Delhi: UAE Ambassador to India, Abdulnasser Jamal Alshaali says, "The Strait of Hormuz is not open. Access is being restricted, it is being conditioned, it is being controlled. Iran is requiring ships to obtain permission to transit and charging tolls of over $2 million per vessel. That is not freedom of navigation. That is holding the UAE, India and the global economy hostage. A fifth of the world's energy supplies transits the strait each day. For India, the implications are considerable. India is the world's largest crude oil importer. A significant share of that supply, along with LPG, the cooking fuel hundreds of millions of Indian households depend on, moves through this passage. They were prepared for this scenario long ago... Cargo shipments are being rerouted to our East Coast ports at Fujairah, which sits outside this trade. In January, the UAE and India signed a uh $3 billion US dollars LNG supply deal, and both leaders have committed to reaching 200 billion USD in bilateral trade by 2032. Nothing over recent weeks has shaken our confidence in this partnership. Our energy ties with India are not built on a single pipeline or a single contract. This is a deep architecture built for resilience and will overcome this period."

#WATCH | Delhi: UAE Ambassador to India, Abdulnasser Jamal Alshaali says, "... The four million Indians in the UAE are not guests. They are part of the fabric of this country. Their protection is treated with the same seriousness as the protection of the UAE nationals. The UAE and Indian governments have maintained open and continuous communication since day one of this crisis. Contingency and evacuation protocols are in place and reviewed regularly. EAM Dr S Jaishankar's visit on the 11th and the 12th of April was the latest in a sustained pattern of high-level engagement between the two countries..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On the UAE's role in West Asia conflict, UAE Ambassador to India, Abdulnasser Jamal Alshaali says, "Our position has always been consistent and clear throughout. We did not seek this war, and before its outbreak, the UAE made it very clear that its territory and airspace would not be used to launch attacks against Iran. That commitment was made in good faith, and Iran chose to violate it. Our position remains unchanged. Any durable resolution must address the fundamental issues. Iran's nuclear program, its ballistic missiles and drones, its affiliated terrorist proxies, the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the targeting of civilians... We are closely monitoring the ceasefire between the United States and Iran. We are also seeking clarification on its terms to ensure Iran's full adherence to an immediate halt to all hostilities and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On the West Asia conflict, UAE Ambassador to India, Abdulnasser Jamal Alshaali says, "UAE has faced 2,890 missiles and drones since the 28th of February... These were unprovoked terrorist attacks against a country that was not a party to this war in any way. Iran targeted our civilian infrastructure, our energy facilities, our residential areas, and basically our model of openness. This was not a military strategy, but terrorism... Our multi-layer air defence systems intercepted the vast majority of incoming threats... A human rights council resolution supported by over 100 states called on Iran to provide full reparations to victims, including those affected by attacks on energy and essential services... The International Maritime Organisation, supported by more than 115 member states, condemned threats to maritime security and underscored the importance of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz... The international community will not tolerate attacks on sovereignty, civilians, critical infrastructure, or the rules-based international order..."
