Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned Houthi missile attacks on Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and reaffirmed Pakistan's support for the Kingdom's security [1].

The statement underscores the strategic alliance between Islamabad and Riyadh during a period of heightened regional instability. By backing the Kingdom's territorial integrity, Pakistan signals its intent to maintain stability in the Middle East, where it holds significant economic and diplomatic interests.

Speaking at a press briefing in Islamabad, Sharif said the missile strikes were a direct violation of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty [6]. He said that Pakistan remains committed to the security and stability of its allies in the region [1].

"Pakistan strongly condemns the attacks on Saudi Arabia and reaffirms its unwavering support for the Kingdom's security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity," Sharif said [5].

Sharif said that such aggression threatens the broader peace of the region. He called for a diplomatic resolution to the conflicts driving these attacks, while maintaining that the Kingdom has a right to defend its borders [2].

"We will continue to support all sincere efforts aimed at promoting peace and security in the region," Sharif said [2].

The Prime Minister's remarks come as Houthi forces continue to target Saudi infrastructure with long-range missiles. Pakistan has historically maintained a balancing act in Yemeni affairs, but its primary security commitment remains tied to the Saudi leadership [3].

Sharif said that the attacks are a violation of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty [4]. He said that the international community must work together to prevent further escalation in the region to ensure global energy security and political stability [3].

“"Pakistan strongly condemns the attacks on Saudi Arabia and reaffirms its unwavering support for the Kingdom's security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity."”

This condemnation reinforces the deep-seated security partnership between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. By explicitly naming the Houthi attacks as a violation of sovereignty, Islamabad is aligning itself with the Kingdom's security narrative, likely to ensure continued financial and political support from Riyadh while attempting to project itself as a proponent of regional peace.
