Pakistan has called for an immediate and unconditional end to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. The demand came as the United Nations Security Council renewed sanctions against individuals and groups threatening peace in Yemen.
Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Syed Haider Shah, made the statement on Thursday, November 12.
Pakistan Reaffirms Support for Saudi Arabia
Speaking after the Security Council adopted the resolution, Shah strongly condemned continued Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia.
He reaffirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with the Saudi leadership, government and people. He also stressed Islamabad’s support for the kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security.
Pakistan further backed Saudi Arabia’s right to defend its territory and protect its citizens under international law.
Shah said Pakistan voted in favour of the resolution because accountability was essential to restoring peace and stability in Yemen.
UN Renews Yemen Sanctions
The Security Council unanimously adopted the resolution, extending targeted asset freezes and travel bans against individuals threatening Yemen’s peace.
These restrictions will remain in place until November 14, 2027. The council also extended the mandate of its Panel of Experts until December 15, 2027.
The resolution condemned the Houthis’ military escalation inside Yemen and their cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia.
It also demanded an end to threats against commercial shipping and sought to restrict the group’s access to components and chemicals used to manufacture drones and missiles.
The arms embargo imposed under UN Resolution 2216 in 2015 was also reaffirmed.
Pakistan Calls for Political Solution
Pakistan reiterated its support for Yemen’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.
Shah also highlighted the importance of protecting maritime security, particularly around the strategically important Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
He urged greater diplomatic engagement and supported UN-led efforts to achieve a lasting political settlement.
Pakistan also called for civilian protection and uninterrupted humanitarian assistance to people affected by the conflict.
The country reaffirmed its readiness to support international efforts aimed at restoring peace and stability in Yemen.
