The Saudi government strongly condemned on Tuesday the Houthi militia’s baseless allegations and accusation against the Kingdom.
It slammed the Houthis for “becoming embroiled in the regional conflict to support their agendas and heinous goals that have deepened the suffering of the Yemeni people and threatened regional security and stability.”
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Jeddah.
The cabinet reiterated the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting Yemen and its legitimate government, saying it will take “firm measures to protect its security and ships in line with international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.”
The cabinet also expressed Saudi Arabia’s full support with Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan and the measures they take against the “heinous Iranian attacks” that are a violation of international law and principles of good neighborliness.
It demanded the immediate halt to all forms of military escalation to preserve the security of the countries of the region and their people.
The cabinet was briefed on the telephone call Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
Aoun praised Saudi Arabia’s stance in support of Lebanon and its efforts to achieve stability and peace in the region.
The cabinet reviewed the latest regional developments and their impact on international peace and security.
The cabinet discussed the outcomes of the Kingdom's active international participation. It praised joint national efforts during the 2026 UN High-Level Political Forum and noted progress in the third Voluntary National Review report, which highlighted advancements in Sustainable Development Goals, including water security, renewable energy, healthcare access, digital government, industrial development, and inclusive economic growth.
The cabinet addressed discussions from the High-level Meeting of the UN General Assembly on the New Urban Agenda, highlighting the Kingdom's achievements in creating sustainable cities and enhancing quality of life.
These milestones include higher homeownership rates among Saudi families, an increased per capita share of public spaces, a modernized transportation system, and expanded community involvement in the urban development process.
The cabinet reviewed a range of reports, statistics, and indicators related to the national economy and the positive impact of the Kingdom's reforms and policies on economic growth, including the recent stability of the annual inflation rate at 1.8%, which remains low compared with many advanced and emerging economies.
The cabinet praised the Kingdom's rise to 13th place globally among the largest recipients of foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
The achievement reflects Saudi Arabia's growing position as a leading global investment destination, the success of its economic reforms, and increasing investor confidence, supported by a 53% rise in net FDI inflows to $32.6 billion and the competitiveness of key sectors, including energy, infrastructure, technology, advanced industries, and logistics.
