JAKARTA: A day after Saudi Arabia attacked a weapons shipment from the United Arab Emirates at a Yemeni port city that Riyadh said was meant for separatist forces, Indonesia has called for respect for Yemen’s territorial integrity and praised efforts to maintain security in the area.
Following the arrival of an Emirati shipment amid increased tensions related to advances by the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council in the war-torn nation, Saudi Arabia launched a limited airstrike at Yemen’s port city of Al-Mukalla in the southern province of Hadramout on Tuesday.
The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a statement released late on Wednesday that it “appreciates further efforts by concerned parties to maintain stability and security,” especially in the provinces of Hadramout and Al-Mahara.
Indonesia’s foreign affairs ministry stated, “Indonesia reaffirms the importance of peaceful settlement through an inclusive and comprehensive political dialogue under the coordination of the United Nations and respecting Yemen’s legitimate government and territorial integrity. The most recent statement follows Jakarta’s declaration last week that it “appreciates the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as other relevant countries, working together with Yemeni interests to de-escalate tensions and restore stability.
