Delegation from Iran to meet UAE officials over attack on fishing vessel
By Trend
An Iranian delegation is slated to hold talks with UAE officials
on Sunday to determine the fate of the country’s fishermen killed
and captured by Emirati coast guards, a lawmaker said.
Iranian officials will travel to the southern port of Bushehr to
meet Emirati officials and learn more about a recent attack by the
Persian Gulf country’s coast guards on an Iranian fishing
vessel.
“Yesterday, Emirati maritime police attacked an Iranian vessel and
arrested 8 fishermen out of 9,” Abdolhamid Khedri told the Iranian
parliament’s ICANA news agency on September 9.
One of the fishermen lost his life during the assault, he
added.
Recently, we held a meeting with members of the foreign ministry
and the ministry vowed to look into the issue seriously, the MP
said.
Khedri said, “Unfortunately, this is not the first time that
Emiratis are committing such act”.
