KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — Malaysia is appalled by the ballistic missile and drone attacks launched by the Houthi militia in Yemen towards Saudi Arabia these past few weeks and condemned in the strongest possible terms these heinous acts of aggression.
The Foreign Ministry said these constant provocations by the Houthis are counter-productive towards peace and stability in Yemen as further acts of aggression will only exacerbate the situation in the country.
“In line with Malaysia’s support for the United Nations (UN) Secretary General’s appeal on March 23, 2020, for a global ceasefire amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysia urges all parties in Yemen to immediately end these provocations,” Wisma Putra said in a statement today.
In collaboration with its partners, Malaysia has initiated the statement in support of the Secretary General’s appeal with the support of over 170 UN Member States, Non-Member Observer State and Observer on June 23.
Malaysia continues to call on all parties to work constructively towards a political settlement for lasting peace in Yemen, the statement said.
