Gulf nations maritime security and diplomacy at UNGA

Overview

During the United Nations General Assembly, several nations, including India, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, raised concerns regarding maritime security and the protection of international trade routes.

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and officials from Oman and Saudi Arabia emphasized the need to protect commercial vessels and crews from attacks, noting that regional warfare has threatened trade through the Strait of Hormuz. These leaders linked maritime stability directly to global energy security and the uninterrupted flow of supply chains.

Complementing these calls for security, the UAE Minister of State Khalifa Shaheen Al-Marar advocated for diplomacy, dialogue, and mediation to resolve conflicts. He specifically highlighted the importance of respecting state sovereignty and international law, while addressing the occupation of the Emirati islands by Iran and calling for peaceful settlements through negotiation or the International Court of Justice.
