Algeria says cutting diplomatic ties with UAE

Algeria says it has decided ⁠to cut diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates after what it described as a series of “provocative or hostile” actions by Abu Dhabi despite “repeated warnings”.

Algeria’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that ⁠the UAE’s actions had reached a point where they could no longer be considered acceptable and that it had “exhausted all means of preserving bilateral relations.”

It said the Emirati ambassador had been summoned to the ministry, informed of the decision and given 48 hours to comply.

There was no immediate comment from the UAE.

Relations between the two countries have come under growing strain in recent years, and Algiers and Abu Dhabi have taken differing positions on several regional issues

阿尔及利亚表示，尽管多次发出警告，但阿布扎比仍采取了一系列“挑衅或敌对”行动，因此决定与阿拉伯联合酋长国断绝外交关系。

阿尔及利亚外交部周四表示，阿联酋的行为已经到了无法接受的地步，并且“已经用尽一切手段来维护双边关系”。

声明称，已召见阿联酋大使到外交部，告知该决定，并给予其 48 小时的时间来遵守。

阿联酋方面暂未对此发表评论。

近年来，两国关系日益紧张，阿尔及尔和阿布扎比在一些地区问题上立场相左。
