UAE Reaffirms Steadfast Opposition to Terrorism Following Attack in Amman

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned a terrorist attack in Jordan's capital that claimed the life of a security officer, reiterating the nation's unwavering commitment to regional stability and security.

The United Arab Emirates has expressed strong condemnation of a terrorist attack in Amman that resulted in the loss of a public security officer and left a patrol officer wounded. The incident, carried out with a sharp object, underscores the persistent threat posed by extremist violence across the region and the urgent need for coordinated resistance to such acts.

In a formal statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated the UAE’s resolute rejection of all forms of violence, extremism and terrorism that threaten the security and stability of nations and communities. The ministry extended its sincere condolences to the family of the fallen officer and to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and its people, whilst wishing the injured officer a swift and complete recovery.

The UAE’s response reflects its broader commitment to confronting extremism across the region. As we have reported, the nation has consistently affirmed its steadfast solidarity with neighbouring states in condemning attacks and strengthening collective security measures. Similarly, regional cooperation on counterterrorism financing remains central to efforts to dismantle the financial networks that sustain such violence.

The attack in Amman serves as a reminder of the shared vulnerabilities faced by nations across the Middle East and the imperative for enhanced coordination in security and intelligence matters. The UAE’s response underscores the nation’s commitment to standing with its regional partners in the face of terrorism and safeguarding the values of peace and stability that bind the region together.

What it means for Abu Dhabi

As a nation deeply invested in regional peace and security, the UAE recognises that attacks on neighbouring countries represent threats to its own stability and prosperity. The attack in Jordan reinforces the strategic importance of the bilateral defence and security partnerships that the UAE has cultivated across the Gulf and Levant, and the necessity of maintaining vigilance against extremist networks that operate across borders.

The UAE’s swift and formal condemnation demonstrates the nation’s leadership in regional affairs and its commitment to the principle of collective security. By standing with Jordan and other regional partners against terrorism, the UAE reinforces the values of unity and resilience that underpin its vision of a prosperous and secure Gulf region.
