Earlier, Pakistan reaffirmed its support for the resolution of the situation in Yemen through dialogue and diplomacy.
The Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tahir Andrabi, in a statement, hoped that the positive steps undertaken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates contribute towards the peaceful resolution of the issue.
He said Pakistan highly appreciates the wisdom and far-sightedness shown by the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in addressing the situation in Yemen.
“Such efforts reflect a common desire for regional peace and stability by the two brotherly countries,” he noted.
The diplomat reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to the unity and territorial integrity of Yemen.
On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates announced the withdrawal of its remaining counter-terrorism units from Yemen, saying the decision was taken after a review of recent developments on the ground.
The decision came after Saudi Arabia expressed strong concern over recent actions by the UAE in Yemen, warning that they posed serious risks to Saudi national security and to the stability of Yemen and the wider region.
