UAE supports evacuation efforts in Afghanistan

The UAE has been helping several countries and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with their evacuation efforts in Afghanistan, on humanitarian grounds.

That's according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, which said in recent days its international partners have evacuated their officials and support staff through UAE airports and on to their final destinations.

"The UAE is a committed and steadfast member of the international community and is exerting significant effort to safeguard those in need," said Sultan Mohammed Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for International Development Affairs at the Ministry.

"The ongoing support provided by the UAE is evidence of our commitment to strengthening international cooperation, particularly in times of crisis," Al Shamsi added.

The UAE is closely following the developments in Afghanistan and supports the international community’s call for a peaceful resolution that meets the hopes and aspirations of the Afghan people.
