Saudi Council affirms Strait navigation
The Saudi Council of Ministers emphasized the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. They underscored the need to avoid imposing any fees, restrictions, or using vital maritime passages as tools for exerting pressure or threats, in accordance with international law and UN resolutions. They also discussed progress in establishing the General Secretariat of the Mecca Agreement for Unified Defense and enhancing military cooperation with Pakistan and Turkey. Additionally, efforts to support peace in Yemen and counter Houthi attacks that threaten maritime security in the Red Sea were addressed. The Kingdom also reiterated its support for the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Center and the necessity to protect public facilities, especially mosques, until the implementation of the new Endowments System.
