Riyadh, 12 November (KUNA) – Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Al-Budaiwi welcomed on Thursday the international consensus on United Nations Security Council Resolution 2837, which demands that the Houthi terrorist militia immediately and unconditionally halt its military escalation and attacks, including those targeting civilians, civilian infrastructure, commercial airports, and international maritime transport.
In a press statement, Al-Budaiwi expressed appreciation for the United Kingdom’s efforts in presenting the draft resolution, emphasizing that it represents an important step toward strengthening the international stance rejecting the Houthis’ treacherous attacks. He stressed the necessity of translating the resolution into concrete commitments that halt these attacks, protect lives and civilian facilities, and put an end to threats to regional security and the safety of international navigation.
The GCC reaffirmed its support for all efforts aimed at backing and empowering the legitimate Yemeni government, in order to safeguard Yemen’s sovereignty, unity, security, and stability, and to meet the aspirations of the brotherly Yemeni people for peace and development. (End)
