The UAE yesterday condemned the terror attacks that rocked Mumbai, India's commercial capital, killing more than 120 people and injuring more than 300.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE Foreign Minister, in a statement released to Wam, said: "The UAE, while condemning this brutal and appalling crime, affirms its complete solidarity with the government of India and stands at its side in confronting and overcoming these criminal acts."
Sheikh Abdullah offered his sympathies to the families of the victims and the wounded and wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the attacks.
Meanwhile, a UAE Foreign Ministry official said the country's Consulate General in Mumbai "is maintaining continuous contact with UAE citizens there and it has set up a round-the-clock communication centre to follow up on their condition".
"There is no information so far about injury to any UAE citizen," the official added. "The Consulate General will continue to be in contact with UAE citizens there and update the Foreign Ministry with any new developments," he said.
