The Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, Pablo Quirno, announced that another 97 Argentine citizens have managed to leave the United Arab Emirates amid the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, thanks to diplomatic efforts by the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the country's embassy. As the official stated, the Argentines were able to leave the country on flights scheduled by the airline Emirates as part of an operation coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist compatriots stranded in the region. Quirno also announced that another 10 Argentines will return to the country in the coming hours following negotiations by the Argentine embassies in Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates. Recall that earlier, an operation facilitated the return of 248 Argentine citizens from the UAE. A total of 416 Argentine citizens had been identified in the region due to flight restrictions caused by the conflict. As explained by the government, the operation is unfolding in a context of high logistical complexity due to numerous flight cancellations and the intermittent opening of airspace in the Middle East. In this context, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the special flight schedule from the UAE and other countries in the region remains active to facilitate the return of Argentines 'as quickly and safely as possible'.
