RIYADH: Saudi Arabia denounced on Tuesday the Houthi militia’s continuous launch of drones to target civilians in the Kingdom.
The attacks are carried out in “a systematic and deliberate manner, which is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and its customary rules,” the Saudi council of ministers said in a weekly meeting.
The cabinet said the Kingdom wanted to “promote the values of pluralism and international cooperation stipulated in the United Nations Charter, in order to achieve sustainable development plans and goals and overcome challenges to reach a more inclusive and just world.”
The council reviewed a number of other issues and regional and international developments.
The ministers also said recent positive estimates of credit rating agencies on the Kingdom’s economy reflected its ability to face global economic challenges.
“The Kingdom is continuing to achieve the goals of its vision toward enabling its financial sector to be among the largest financial centers in the world by 2030, despite the global economy facing the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic,” information minister Majid Al-Qasabi said.
