Bangladesh concerned over attacks on oil establishments in Gulf

Bangladesh has expressed deep concern over the secret drone attacks on the oil pumping stations in Saudi Arabian Eastern Province.

It also termed the news of attacks on the Saudi Arabian and Emirati oil tankers in the UAE territory as disconcerting, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Bangladesh is of the view that such unprovoked acts will have an adverse impact on the overall security situation in the Gulf region, the statement read.

Denouncing such unilateral act of provocation, Bangladesh said it remains steadfastly committed to maintenance of peace and security and supports any collective effort that would maintain peace and stability in the region, it added.
