In a statement, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tahir Andrabi said Pakistan was closely monitoring recent developments in Yemen and remained committed to supporting initiatives that could lead to a sustainable political settlement.

“Pakistan fully supports diplomatic efforts for peace and stability in Yemen,” the spokesperson said, adding that Islamabad appreciated the role being played by the United Arab Emirates in advancing dialogue and reconciliation.

Call for restraint and dialogue

The Foreign Office urged all parties involved in the conflict to avoid unilateral actions that could further escalate tensions or undermine ongoing peace efforts.

“There is a strong expectation that all sides will exercise restraint and refrain from steps that could aggravate the situation,” the spokesperson said.

Emphasising the need for a negotiated political solution, Pakistan called on the Yemeni parties to engage in constructive dialogue in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable outcome.
