ABU DHABI, April 4 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday strongly condemned what it said were acts of rioting, attempted vandalism and attacks targeting its embassy and the residence of its head of mission in Damascus, Syria.
In a statement, the UAE reaffirmed its categorical rejection and condemnation of such "unacceptable" acts, including those directed against its national symbols.
The UAE called on relevant parties to take necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
The statement didn't specify those incidents. Videos circulating on social media showed what appeared to be protests outside the embassy, though the reasons remain unclear. ■
