In a recent posting on X, the prime minister highlighted the tragic outcome of these attacks, which resulted in loss of life and injuries among civilians.
He praised the Saudi Armed Forces and the coalition for their successful interception of multiple ballistic missiles, effectively safeguarding the lives of civilians. Shehbaz reiterated Pakistan's unyielding support for Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the country's unwavering solidarity with the Kingdom's leadership and populace. He underscored Pakistan's commitment to safeguarding Saudi Arabia's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security, as outlined in the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement and the recent decisions of the Strategic Political and Defence Committee.
The prime minister also affirmed Saudi Arabia's inherent right to protect its citizens, cities, and critical infrastructure. "The Houthi militia must cease their attacks immediately," Shehbaz declared, stressing that Pakistan stands firm in its support for Saudi Arabia amidst these threats.
