The Saudi Council of Ministers, chaired by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, followed up on the developments on the regional and international arenas, and the efforts exerted by the Kingdom through communication and consultation with brotherly and friendly countries to enhance regional stability and limit the repercussions of conflicts and tensions on global energy security, international trade, supply chains, and maritime navigation.
The Council affirmed, according to a statement, that energy security, international trade, the sustainability of supply chains, and maritime navigation are a shared responsibility that requires international cooperation to prevent the global economy from being exposed to risks that affect the entire world.
The Council welcomed the presidential statement issued by the members of the UN Security Council, which condemned the Houthi group's attacks on civilian objects, airports, and energy infrastructure in the Kingdom, and the continuous threats to navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, stressing the importance of the full implementation of Security Council Resolution 2216 and subsequent resolutions, and cooperation to prevent the group from obtaining weapons and other forms of support.
