Metsola stayed in Abu Dhabi, where she met parliamentarians from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and the United Arab Emirates. However, her planned return on Tuesday became uncertain in connection with the closing of the airspace over the UAE, Qatar and other countries of the region after reports that Iran responds to Washington's weekend attacks on his nuclear facilities.
“Tomorrow is to return to Brussels,” MetSoli Portal Politico said. – We monitor the situation and remain strict with the national authorities.
The CNN station reported, citing American officials, that on Monday Iran fired rockets towards American military bases in Qatar and Iraq. According to Reuters and other media, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and other countries of the region temporarily closed their airspace.
MetSoli's visit to the region was planned before the last Israeli and American attacks on Iran. – In today's changing security situation, we face common challenges that require deeper cooperation – said Metsola before the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.
On Tuesday afternoon, Metsola is to meet in Brussels with a billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates – if she manages to come back.
