Saudi leads Quartet and Europe on maritime security
Saudi diplomacy, led by Prince Faisal bin Farhan, is moving towards coordinating with the Quartet Group and European countries to address escalating tensions in the region. The focus is on ensuring maritime security in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz, as well as stabilizing the situation in Yemen. The meetings include Saudi, Pakistani, Turkish, and Egyptian foreign ministers, along with representatives from European nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy. The goal is to strengthen international cooperation to deter Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, secure shipping lanes and energy routes, and prevent economic losses exceeding $20 billion in case of disruptions to navigation. The participants also plan to discuss key regional and international issues, including the U.S.-Iranian conflict, the Palestinian cause, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis, aiming to contain the repercussions and safeguard regional interests. These efforts are part of a joint initiative to ensure the security of international navigation and regional stability.
