DUBAI, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. embassy in Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has said the closure of its office and the consulate general in Dubai on Aug. 4 is a "precautionary step" based on security concerns and instructions of the U.S. State Department.
The embassy and the general consulate to the UAE will be shut down on the coming Sunday (Aug. 4) along with the U.S. diplomatic and administrative missions in a number of other countries including Jordan, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel for security concerns, local media reported Friday, quoting an embassy note.
The U.S. embassy in Abu Dhabi said it is possible "we may have additional days of closings as well, depending on our analysis."
The emergency message said the closure is a routine action, as the U.S. State Department "when conditions warrant, takes steps like this to balance our continued operations with security and safety."
