Yemen’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Afrah Al-Zouba, held a phone call with Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Armanatha Christiawan Nasir, to discuss the latest developments in Yemen and the region, as well as ways to enhance bilateral relations between the two countries.

According to an official statement from Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Al-Zouba addressed the recent attacks by the Houthi militia targeting the presidential Maashiq Palace in the interim capital, Aden, and the city of Marib with missiles and drones. She also highlighted the ongoing violations and shelling of unarmed civilians in Taiz, stressing that attacks on civilian sites reveal the terrorist nature of the Houthi militia and its inability to confront the Yemeni people's determination to end the coup and restore state institutions.

The two sides also discussed the impact of Houthi attacks on international shipping lanes and repeated assaults on commercial vessels, which have included Indonesian sailors among the victims.

For his part, the Indonesian foreign minister expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Yemeni government for the support provided to Indonesian citizens residing in Yemen, reaffirming Indonesia’s steadfast support for Yemen’s unity and stability.
