The Yemeni government stressed, on Thursday, the importance of the international community adopting a comprehensive and effective strategy to face common challenges and ensure the freedom of international navigation, security and international peace corridors.

The permanent representative of the United Nations, Abdullah Al -Saadi, said during a discussion session at the UN Security Council on "Promoting Maritime Security through international cooperation to achieve global stability", that no specific country can face all challenges in the marine environment alone, without working within a cooperation system.

He pointed out that: The Houthi terrorist militia attacks in the Red Sea and the Bab al -Mandab strait showed the importance of this waterway for the global economy, the size of the impact of unrest on international trade, global economic stability and the marine environment.

Al -Saadi stressed that Yemen believes in the importance of cooperation and coordination at all levels, through which national efforts are integrated with the efforts of regional and international partners, in a way that guarantees the security and safety of international navigation corridors, "according to the Yemeni News Agency" Saba ".

He stressed the importance of supporting the Yemeni government in extending its control over its entire lands, and enabling it to carry out its duty to protect its territorial waters, to secure international navigation in the Red Sea, and transfer it from a source of threat to a peace bridge, as it was through history.

He said that the continued smuggling of weapons to the Houthi militia backed by the Iranian regime, “not only a threat to Yemen, but also on regional and international peace and security, and the security and safety of international navigation as a whole.”

He stressed the need to strengthen practical cooperation with the government to prevent the Houthis from obtaining weapons and military technology used to carry out more attacks against international navigation and threaten the countries of the region.

Yemeni delegate to the United Nations called on international organizations and international donors to provide the necessary support to the Coast Guard in his country, to build their capabilities and capabilities by providing patrol boats, interceptor boats, monitoring means and communication devices, so that they can carry out their responsibility in protecting their maritime borders, and securing international navigation lines in the Red Sea, Bab Al -Mandab and Gulf of Aden.

The Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, stressed last Tuesday the need to take measures to face the increasing pressures and threats taking place in the maritime spaces, confirming the respect of international law and addressing maritime insecurity issues and helping developing countries to build their capabilities to face these threats.

Britain has previously announced through its deputy representative to the United Nations, James Carioca, that it had aspired to launch the maritime security partnership with the Yemeni government and international partners, next June.

Cariocy, on Wednesday, confirmed last Wednesday that his country continues to work to contain the capabilities of the Houthis effectively, through a coordinated international approach, which enables Yemen to protect its coasts and maritime borders, combat piracy, terrorism, smuggle weapons and organized crime.
