Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, called for an immediate cessation of Houthi attacks on merchant shipping in the Bab al Mandab Strait, emphasizing the potential dire consequences for maritime security and regional peace. The meeting, chaired by Bahrain, also heard from Saudi Arabia, which warned that the Houthi escalation threatened Yemen, regional security, international trade, and global supply chains.",
