The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday strongly condemned statements by Yemen's Houthi movement targeting Saudi Arabia, including threats to disrupt maritime navigation, reaffirming its full solidarity with the Kingdom.
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community to ensure the implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2216 on Yemen and Resolution 2722 on the protection of navigation in the Red Sea.
The ministry stressed that freedom of navigation in international waterways is a right guaranteed under international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, while reaffirming the UAE's support for all measures taken by Saudi Arabia to safeguard its security.
