In a significant diplomatic gesture, the United Arab Emirates’ highest leadership has formally expressed condolences to Pakistan following devastating terrorist attacks in the restive Balochistan province. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan spearheaded the response by dispatching an official cable to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, conveying profound sympathy for the tragic loss of life and injuries resulting from the coordinated assaults.
The presidential message emphasized the UAE’s solidarity with Pakistan during this period of national grief while extending heartfelt wishes for the rapid recovery of all individuals injured in the violence. This demonstration of regional solidarity was further reinforced by parallel communications from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, alongside Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who serves as Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Presidential Court.
The coordinated diplomatic response underscores the strategic importance of UAE-Pakistan relations and reflects the Emirates’ consistent foreign policy stance against transnational terrorism. The attacks in Balochistan represent the latest challenge to regional security, with the province having experienced persistent instability due to separatist movements and extremist activities. The UAE’s prompt expression of support signals continued cooperation between the Gulf states and South Asian nations in addressing shared security concerns while promoting regional stability through diplomatic channels.
