The European Union backs the UAE's stand calling for a peaceful solution to Iran-occupied islands of Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Moussa either through direct negotiations or referring the issue to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a senior official has said.  

 

In remarks at the end of a meeting of Gulf Cooperation Council and EU foreign ministers in the Spanish city of Granada, Ambassador Abdullah Rashid Al Nuaimi, Assistant Undersecretary for Political Affairs and head of the UAE delegation to the meeting, said the EU welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Abdulla bin Abdulaziz's Middle East peace initiative.
