Who funds Yemen’s Houthis? Inside $2.5b war economy
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Malaysia has shown unity with Saudi Arabia amidst its ongoing security challenges and expressed readiness to provide assistance, as confirmed by Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. The communication took place during a telephone call with his Saudi counterpart, Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, following a prior conversation last month.
Nordin conveyed these sentiments while attending the 20th Asean Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) in Cebu, Philippines. In a post on his official X account, Nordin stated, “Malaysia stands in solidarity with Saudi Arabia amid its current security challenges and remains ready to assist within our capabilities. May Saudi Arabia and its people remain safe and secure, insya-Allah.”
Prince Khalid echoed these sentiments on X, stating that both ministers reviewed bilateral defence relations and discussed regional developments, including the condemnation of attacks by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia and its holy sites. The King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh had previously faced multiple attacks resulting in casualties, leading to temporary suspension of operations; however, it partially reopened on Sunday.
