He said defending sovereignty and the nation is both an honour and a responsibility.

Gargash added that despite the ongoing tensions, the UAE is convinced that a political solution is the only path to ensuring sustainable security in the region, rather than temporary measures that could reproduce instability for decades to come. He said this approach underpins the country’s positions and policy direction.
