UAE Following with Great Concern Iraq’s Statements on Bahrain
The United Arab Emirates said on Sunday that it was
following with great concern the statements issued by Iraq towards Bahrain and
its leadership, reported Bahrain’s news agency (BNA).
"The interference in the internal affairs of
Bahrain and any contempt or breach of the noble status of its leadership is
objectionable meddling that can never be accepted," said UAE’s foreign
ministry in a statement.
The ministry reiterated that "any failure in
containing the abuse in relations between sisterly countries will only lead to
widening the gap and heightening tension in a time we are in a dire need for
cooperation and for respecting national sovereignty and adhering to the
principle of non-intervention."
"Within this context, we are urging our
brothers in the sisterly country of Iraq to commit to the principles of respect
for sovereignty and non-intervention in order to strengthen Arab links and
contribute to deepening stability in the region," added the statement.
