Saudi Arabia has renewed its call for the international community to label Houthi militias in Yemen as a terrorist group and dry up their funding sources. During a session in Jeddah, the Saudi Cabinet reiterated the Kingdom's continued support for international peacemaking efforts in Yemen.
King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet's session at Al-Salam Palace on Tuesday afternoon.
At the outset of the session, Cabinet members commended the contents of King Salman's annual speech upon opening the activities of the 3rd year of the 8th session of the Shura Council. They also hailed the constants of the Kingdom's internal and foreign policy and the achievements of Vision 2030 strategies.
The Cabinet was then briefed on the talks held between the Kingdom and several countries in the past few days.
This included two messages received by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman from Morocco's King Mohammed VI.
The messages related to bilateral ties between the two Kingdoms and ways to support and strengthen them in various fields.
Moreover, the Cabinet was briefed on the content of the phone call made by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In the phone call, the Kingdom confirmed its support of everything contributing to reducing the escalation in Ukraine and its willingness to continue mediation efforts.
The Cabinet also touched on the overall discussions of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and the outcomes of his official visit to Saudi Arabia in signing agreements and memoranda of understanding with an estimated value of more than $15 billion.
The Cabinet reviewed many regional and international issues, reiterating the Kingdom's assertion during a Security Council session on Yemen that it continues to support international efforts to bring peace to Yemen, and called on the international community to classify the Houthi militia as a terrorist group, boycott it and dry up its sources of funding.
