ADEN-SABA
The government has welcomed the joint statement issued following the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting and the EU High Representative in Paris on November 9-10, commending its strong condemnation of continued Houthi militia attacks in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
In a statement issued Thursday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates praised the G7’s solidarity with the government and Saudi Arabia and its affirmation of their right to defend their security, sovereignty and territorial integrity under international law.
It also welcomed the call on Iran to stop arming and supporting the Houthi militia, warning that continued Iranian support in violation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions fuels escalation.
The ministry further welcomed calls to protect civilians, urgently open a humanitarian corridor in Taiz, ensure safe and unimpeded aid deliveries, and secure the immediate and unconditional release of all humanitarian workers detained by the militia, including 70 UN staff members. It also praised the statement’s emphasis on continued support for the government and strengthening its capabilities.
The ministry said Houthi attacks pose a cross-border threat to civilians, vital infrastructure and maritime security in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait and Gulf of Aden. It renewed its call for coordinated international efforts to designate the militia as a terrorist organization and take legal measures to cut off its funding and restrict its financial dealings.
It reaffirmed that the government would continue fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities to protect citizens and national resources, restore state institutions and extend its authority across the country, ending the Houthi coup through a Yemeni-led decision, with support from the Saudi-led Coalition to Support Legitimacy.
The ministry called on the international community to translate its positions into concrete action, particularly by enforcing the arms embargo on the Houthi militia and holding it accountable for crimes against Yemenis. It stressed that government security, regional security and the safety of international maritime navigation are inseparable.
