«The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has sought, and continues to seek, to support all efforts toward de-escalation and peace, and to back the efforts of the UN Special Envoy to Yemen to reach a comprehensive political solution that ends the suffering of the Yemeni people. However, the Houthi terrorist militia persists in pursuing a path of escalation and violence instead of de-escalation and peace, serving foreign agendas that have no connection to Yemen and do not serve the interests of its people.

Peace will not be achieved through slogans or political maneuvering, but rather through a genuine will that places the interests of Yemen and its people above all else, and rejects violence, subservience, and the foreign agendas that have prolonged the conflict and exacerbated the suffering of millions.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will remain, as everyone has known it, a supporter of the brotherly Yemeni people throughout Yemen, and a supporter of its legitimate government, until Yemen enjoys security, stability, and peace.»
