Pakistani lawmakers have proposed, approving a draft resolution on day five of the joint parliamentary session on Yemen, that Pakistan “should maintain neutrality in the conflict” and “stand shoulder to shoulder with Saudi Arabia” to play a proactive diplomatic role to end the crisis.
However, no clarity was made on how Pakistan would or would not involve itself militarily and how it should stand shoulder to shoulder with Saudi Arabia.
The draft resolution was approved unanimously on the fifth day of the joint parliamentary session on the Saudi-led offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The session was called upon after the government of Saudi Arabia approached Pakistan for warplanes, warships and soldiers to help in the conflict and join the Saudi-led military coalition.
The resolution stated that Pakistan will stand shoulder to shoulder with Saudi Arabia and its people if there is any violation of Pakistan’s territorial integrity. (ANI)
