Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Shaya’ Al-Zindani emphasized the necessity of reconsidering the approach to dealing with the threats posed by the Houthi terrorist militias to international waterways through empowering and supporting the Yemeni government politically, economically, and militarily to build and strengthen the capabilities of specialized state institutions. This support aims to ensure the security of international passages sustainably and for Yemen to be an active partner in maintaining regional security.
During his participation in a roundtable discussion on the political and military dimensions of the Houthis in Yemen as a threat to regional security, held on Wednesday in New York, he stressed the need to review the reasons behind the failure to resolve the Yemeni issue and assess the current situation. He highlighted the consequences of attacks in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab on the prospects for a political solution in Yemen, in addition to their devastating environmental impact and serious economic repercussions for Yemen and countries in the region.
Minister Al-Zindani warned of the dangers of complacency or deferring the resolution of the Yemeni issue amidst economic and political challenges, and the continued flow of weapons and funds to the Houthis. He reiterated the importance of implementing UN resolutions concerning Yemen, particularly Resolution 2216, as an appropriate approach to address the Yemeni crisis.
