Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is due to issue an ‘important’ statement on Pakistan’s stance on the Yemen conflict, sources privy to the development told The Express Tribune.

PM will issue an important statement on Yemen at 6:30pm on Tuesday,” sources said, adding that the premier’s statement will indirectly respond to a UAE minister’s and the Arab Leagues’ reservations regarding Pakistan’s decision to remain neutral in the Yemen conflict.

On Friday, Pakistan’s Parliament voted not to join the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, dashing Riyadh’s hopes for powerful support from outside of the region in its fight to halt Houthi rebels, some of whom have links to Iran.

However, the government is yet to announce whether it will comply with the Parliament’s joint resolution or not.

The resolution is not binding on the government, however, sources said it will formulate the government’s strategy for the next phase on actual talks with Saudi Arabia’s authorities.

Further, the sources said the PM will take Saudi Arabia’s side on the Yemen issue and signal, indirectly, that Pakistan will meet Saudi Arabia’s demands.

Consultative meeting underway

A consultative meeting on the Yemen conflict is underway at the PM House.

The premier will issue a statement on the government’s stance on the conflict after the meeting, later in the evening today.
