GCC chief condemns attack on Qatari LNG tanker, stresses Gulf maritime security

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Mohammed Albudaiwi has strongly condemned the attack on the Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker Al Mayeda, operated by Qatar Gas Transport Company (Nakilat), while it was sailing in Gulf waters.

Albudaiwi warned that targeting energy tankers is a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and puts lives, property, and the global economy at risk.

He stressed that maritime routes must remain safe for navigation and trade, warning of the consequences that attacks on gas carriers could have on the marine environment, energy flows, and market stability. He called for those responsible for the attack to be held accountable. 

The GCC chief also reaffirmed the bloc’s support for measures taken by Qatar to safeguard its resources and assets and to confront any threats to its security and interests.​
