Yemen, a country on the Arabian Peninsula, has been embroiled in a civil war for almost seven years, with the Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, facing off against a coalition of foreign countries headed by Saudi Arabia. Millions of people are facing displacement and food insecurity as a result of this conflict, which has created a serious humanitarian crisis. With the recent changes in the nation’s leadership, there is a great deal of political instability. Due to the war, trade routes in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal are disrupted, which has major worldwide ramifications.
The ongoing conflict in Yemen is recognized by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a serious problem with broad repercussions for both regional stability and global peace. Pakistan has always pushed for a diplomatic settlement to the Yemeni crisis. We have opposed getting involved in the conflict despite having strong relations with Saudi Arabia, preferring to use diplomacy and political solutions over military action. We voice our concerns about foreign assistance to the Houthi rebels, which intensifies the fighting and jeopardizes peace attempts. Imran Khan, the prime minister of Pakistan, has expressed interest in mediating the dispute between Yemen and Saudi Arabia and has emphasized the necessity of finding a diplomatic settlement. Our past influences Pakistan’s position on the Yemen conflict and present relations with Yemen and Saudi Arabia. We are reluctant to send ground troops because we are focused on maintaining internal stability and continuing the fight against terrorism. Pakistan’s internal stability is affected by the Yemeni crisis, especially in light of the rise in sectarian violence.
Pakistan is dedicated to collaborating with the global community to discover a nonviolent solution to the ongoing crisis in Yemen. We firmly believe that by fostering constructive discussions, promoting cooperation among stakeholders, and demonstrating mutual respect for all parties involved, we can effectively establish a lasting and sustainable peace in Yemen.
