The Minister of Defense highly praised supportive stances of Sudan's leadership, government and peoples in supporting the legitimate government, actively contributing to the Saudi-led Arab Coalition's campaign and backing the Yemeni national military to push back the Houthi militia.

The Sudanese Defense Minister reiterated his country's principled position in supporting the legitimate government and Yemeni people at this critical stage.
