BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK ON RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
4 NOVEMBER 2017
Malaysia strongly condemns the missile attack on 4 November 2017 which was targeted towards the civilian population in Riyadh. The swift action by Saudi defence forces in intercepting the missile is most commendable which had ensured the safety of the people in Riyadh. Malaysia stands firmly in solidarity with Saudi Arabia in confronting this belligerent act that would threaten peace and security of Saudi Arabia. The peace and security of Saudi Arabia is pivotal to that of the Arab region and the Muslim world as a whole.
Malaysia calls for those involved in the conflict in Yemen to resolve the matter peacefully through the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative, as well as in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2216 (2015). Malaysia also calls for others not to interfere in the internal affairs of Yemen.
