Federal Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid on Wednesday reiterated that Saudi Arabia has stood with Pakistan in times of hardship, and that Pakistan has a strong relationship with the United Arab Emirates as well.
Talking to reporters, Rashid said Pakistan supports the United Nations Security Council resolution on Yemen which has called for an arms embargo on the Houthi rebels.
Referring to the parliament’s resolution on Yemen, the information minister said the whole country was united in its stance on the conflict, adding that the parliament’s decision was Pakistan’s decision.
“Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had already declared that a legitimate Yemeni government had been illegally removed by rebels, which is a dangerous precedent,” said Rashid.
