Ship sabotage: UAE welcomes joint probe by friendly nations

Abu Dhabi - Four tankers were targeted in regional waters earlier this month.

UAE has welcomed the decision and willingness of several friendly countries to join the international investigation into the recent 'sabotage operations' targeting four tankers off UAE's regional waters in the Gulf of Oman.
The tankers carried Emirati, Saudi, and Norwegian flags.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, MoFAIC, said in a statement on Wednesday: 
"The participation of our international partners in the investigation will help us arrive at impartial conclusions in a transparent manner. That is precisely what the UAE wants from this probe.
"The ongoing joint investigations reflect the international community's determination to protect maritime security, the flow of international trade, and energy supplies," it pointed out.
With the participation of UAE's international partners, the investigation will continue in the proper manner and will conclude in due course, MoFAIC added.
