The UAE has praised the successful mediation efforts of Oman in securing the release of 25 crew members from the Galaxy Leader ship, detained off the Yemeni coast for over a year.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs commended Oman’s role in resolving the humanitarian issue.

The UAE hopes this development will strengthen regional security, especially given the Red Sea's importance as a key maritime route for global trade, boosting stability and trade flow.
