Abu Dhabi, UAE – In the first official and direct response from the United Arab Emirates following the historic decision announced by Algeria today, Thursday, September 10, 2026, to completely sever diplomatic relations, Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Advisor to the UAE President, affirmed that joint diplomatic efforts and bilateral relations are managed through reason, continuous communication, and clarity of interests—far removed from the language of enigmas and complex signals that require decoding.
These sharp remarks were made in official posts published by Gargash on his X account in response to the rapidly unfolding events that led Algerian state television and the Foreign Ministry to announce a complete severance of bilateral relations. Furthermore, Algerian authorities gave the Emirati ambassador a 48-hour deadline to leave the country.
In his brief messages, the Emirati official emphasized that relations between states “cannot be held hostage to internal tensions or an inability to articulate interests and define priorities,” adding unequivocally that “ambiguity is not a policy, and noise cannot compensate for a lack of vision.” Gargash maintained that successful, effective diplomacy relies fundamentally on clarity of stance and the skillful management of differences. He concluded by stating that anything less amounts to a clear failure of vision and management. This response completes the picture following the Algerian Foreign Ministry’s earlier announcement that the decision to sever ties was taken “after exhausting all avenues” in the face of what it described as hostile actions. This development signals a looming, broad diplomatic escalation in the region.
