Pakistan on Monday strongly condemned the terrorist activities perpetrated against Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed its strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integ
rity of the Kingdom. The Foreign Office said Pakistan also supported the effo
rts of Saudi Arabia for achieving a peaceful settlement in
Yemen. “Pakistan has consistently urged all parties to the conflict in
Yemen to engage in peaceful and meaningful talks to end the hostilities, in line with
the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions,” it said. The FO said the truce reached earlier this year had yielded dividends by bringing about relative peace, however, termed it “deplorable” th
at it was not renewed by the Houthis. “This would cause mounting hardship for the ordinary
Yemenis, and potentially derail the entire effort for attainment of durable peace,” it said. The FO said, “We once again urge upon the Houthis to cease militant activities and terrorist actions, and engage in a serious dialogue to end the conflict on the basis of
the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and renew the UN-brokered truce”.
