UAE extends condolences to China following earthquake in Xizang region

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has conveyed sincere sympathy to the Chinese people and government following a devastating seismic event in Baqen County
Natural disasters recognise no borders, and in moments of profound loss, nations united by shared values and mutual respect find common ground in compassion. The United Arab Emirates has expressed its solidarity with the People’s Republic of China following an earthquake that struck Baqen County in the Xizang region, resulting in casualties and injuries across the affected area.
Through a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE has conveyed its sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the families of those who have lost their lives, as well as to the Chinese government and its people. The message of support extends equally to those injured in the tremor, with wishes for their swift and complete recovery.
The gesture reflects the enduring bonds between the two nations and their shared commitment to humanitarian values. As we reported in similar circumstances as the UAE expressed solidarity with Panama following an earthquake in October, such international expressions of unity underscore the importance of collective compassion during times of crisis.
What it means for Abu Dhabi
These expressions of solidarity are woven into the fabric of the UAE’s foreign policy, demonstrating the nation’s principled commitment to standing alongside friends during moments of adversity. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to represent Emirati values of compassion and brotherhood, reinforcing diplomatic relationships through genuine humanitarian concern.
For Abu Dhabi, such gestures reinforce the Emirates’ standing as a nation that responds with grace and empathy to human suffering, regardless of geography or distance. This approach to international relations strengthens the UAE’s reputation as a responsible global partner committed to the welfare of all peoples.
