GCC chief welcomes UN Security Council stance on Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Mohammed Albudaiwi has welcomed the position expressed by members of the UN Security Council in their presidential statement regarding attacks by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia. He said the Council’s condemnation of these assaults sends a clear international message rejecting ongoing targeting of the Kingdom, its national assets, and the threat to maritime security and international trade routes.

In an official statement, Albudaiwi stressed the importance of the Security Council’s declaration in affirming the international community’s responsibility to halt such violations and prevent the Houthis from continuing to obtain weapons and support that fuel their attacks. He noted that full implementation of Security Council Resolution 2216 (2015) is an international obligation that must be fulfilled to help end practices threatening the region’s security and stability.

The Secretary-General affirmed that the GCC regards Saudi Arabia’s security as a cornerstone of collective Gulf security. He emphasized that GCC member states stand united and resolute with the Kingdom, supporting all measures it takes to defend its sovereignty, safeguard its security, and protect its citizens and residents.
