Dubai - Arab Today
Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, has inspected UAE forces in Bahrain where they are part of the Waves of the Gulf Duty Force.
During his visit on Monday, he told troops they were representing the UAE in the best light, as they are the ambassadors of "righteousness, goodness and peace", reported state news agency Wam.
He said the forces of evil and terrorism which had committed a series of criminal and terrorist acts recently in Bahrain will only increase the UAE’s determination and insistence on facing it with firmness, as the security of the Gulf is one, reported Wam.
In November, Sheikh Saif stated the security of the Gulf states as a shared responsibility where a threat against one will be considered a threat against all.
During a state visit to Bahrain, after the conclusion of Arabian Gulf Security, a month-long joint security exercise arranged by the six members of the GCC, which includes the UAE, he said: "We will protect our common security in the Gulf region in actions not in words. We will build an insusceptible barrier to fend off any threat to the security of any Gulf state."
