He said that diplomatic relations are “managed through reason, communication, and clarity of interests, not through puzzles and signals that require decoding”.
Gargash, who often comments on international policies and diplomatic efforts highlighted that “ambiguity is not a policy” while saying that “successful diplomacy is built on clarity of positions, sound management of interests and differences”.
