"The UAE stands firmly against all forms of terrorism and religious extremism that destroy the social fabric of society, affect national harmony and threaten global peace and security," said Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, at the 17th meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), being held in Margarita, Venezuela.
Making a statement, as the head of the UAE's delegation to the 17th meeting of NAM, he called for consolidated international efforts to counter issues about terrorism at all levels.
"It is important that all countries unite and follow a comprehensive strategy to combat terrorism straight at its source and track down those who commit such acts," Dr Al Zeyoudi said.
Reaffirming the country's commitment to the international goals of combatting terrorism, he said the UAE considered itself an important partner in all regional and global alliances that combat terrorism on a security, cultural and intellectual level. The UAE has established the "Hedaya" centre and a digital call centre "Sawab", which aims to combat extremist agendas organised on the Internet by terrorist organisations such as Daesh (ISIL), he emphasised.
The UAE has a clear foreign policy that is based on non-interference with the internal affairs of its neighbours and other countries, respecting their sovereignty and the unity of their lands, he stressed, while emphasising that the country adamantly refuses to interfere in the affairs of other countries which could cause instability amongst the population.
Dr Al Zeyoudi called on countries of the non-aligned movement to stop interference with the support of armed militias, meddling in affairs of other countries, and to give up illusions of regional dominance and expansion.
Regarding the situation in Syria, he stressed that the UAE continued to work towards putting an end to the war machine and the humanitarian crisis that the Syrian population is going through. He stressed the importance of finding a political solution to the crisis based on the requirements of the First Statement of Geneva.
