UAE minister: Saudi-Emirati alliance a strategic necessity, Yemen clear example

The alliance between Saudi Arabia and the United
Arab Emirates is a strategic necessity, UAE Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs Anwar Gargash says, citing Yemen as a “clear example.”
“The
Saudi-UAE alliance is a strategic necessity in light of the surrounding
challenges and Yemen is a clear example. The UAE's participation in Operation
Decisive Storm and within the Arab alliance came in response to the call of the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and our continuation in Yemen within the
coalition led by Saudi Arabia is linked to this invitation,” Gargash tweeted on
Sunday.
“As a result of our strategic relationship with
Saudi Arabia, it decides the continuation of our role in supporting stability
in Yemen within the Arab coalition or not. Our association with Riyadh is
present and more comprehensive, especially during the difficult surrounding
circumstances and in light of our firm conviction of the pivotal and leading
role of Riyadh,” Gargash added.
