India has strongly condemned the continuous attacks on commercial shipping off the Oman coast and said those attacks must cease and end.
Addressing a press briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We condemned the attack on a ship off the coast of Oman in which, unfortunately, we lost three Indian nationals. We had summoned the US Charge d’Affaires here to register a strong protest,” Jaiswal said.
“The continuing incidents of attacks on shipping in the region are deeply worrisome and a direct result of the ongoing conflict in the region. These attacks must cease and end. We also call for dialogue and diplomacy so that we can have an early return to peace and stability in the region,” he added.
