Yemen FM Urges International Community to Condemn Houthis

The Yemeni and Saudi foreign ministers meet in Riyadh. (SPA)

Yemeni Foreign Minister Khaled al-Yamani stressed on Wednesday the importance of the international community condemning the crimes of the Iran-backed Houthi militias in his country.

The militias’ practices are a threat to world security and peace, he said during a meeting with Sweden's special representative to Yemen Peter Semneby.

He added the Houthis are still committing their crimes that are threatening trade and international navigation routes, hindering oil shipments and targeting oil tankers.

Yamani, therefore, demanded that more pressure be exerted on Iran to make it alter its hostile behavior in the region and the world.

The Yemeni official had also held talks in Riyadh with his Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir.

The two ministers discussed bilateral ties and the latest developments in Yemen.
