Saudi Arabia will continue to work with UN to bring peace to Yemen: Cabinet

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia will continue to work with the United Nations to bring peace to Yemen, Cabinet ministers said on Tuesday.

The Houthi militia’s cross-border actions continue to undermine efforts to reach a solution in Yemen, the ministers said, during a meeting chaired by King Salman.

During the weekly meeting, held via video conferencing, the council of ministers reiterated that the Kingdom would take all measures required to protect its land, citizens and expatriates living on Saudi soil.

The Cabinet also called on the international community to deprive the Houthi militia of the source of its weapons, to prevent its destabilizing activity in Yemen.
