Jordan reaffirms support for UAE following loss of service members
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs has conveyed its sincere condolences to the government and people of the United Arab Emirates after the martyrdom of two members of the UAE Ministry of Defence during a training mission.
Ambassador Fouad Al‑Majali, spokesperson for the Jordanian ministry, underlined Amman’s full solidarity and support for the UAE and extended the deepest sympathies to the families of the fallen personnel, according to a report by Petra cited by WAM.
The message reflects the close and long‑standing ties between Jordan and the UAE, which have frequently cooperated on defence, security and humanitarian matters. Expressions of sympathy between allied states are customary following losses sustained during official duties, and they serve to reinforce bilateral relations at moments of national mourning.
Details of the training mission, including location and circumstances, were not disclosed in the statement. The Jordanian ministry’s public remark focused on solidarity and condolences rather than operational particulars, leaving investigation and official comment to the competent UAE authorities.
For the UAE, the Ministry of Defence is a federal institution responsible for the protection of national security and the welfare of its armed forces. The loss of service members on duty typically prompts internal reviews and statements from military and governmental bodies to both honour the dead and assess lessons learned.
Amid regional security challenges, co‑operative ties between partner states such as Jordan and the UAE remain a cornerstone of mutual support. Formal condolences from foreign ministries underscore the diplomatic bonds that are brought into sharp relief at times of sacrifice and grief.
The Jordanian statement, as relayed by Petra and published by WAM, concentrated on offering comfort to the bereaved families and expressing unwavering support for the UAE government. Further information about the incident is expected only through official channels from the UAE Ministry of Defence or related authorities.
