By The South Asia Times
ISLAMABAD- Pakistan on Monday strongly condemned an attempted attack by Houthi terrorists targeting a Saudi Aramco administrative building in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, expressing solidarity with the Kingdom and reaffirming its support for its security and sovereignty.
No casualties were reported in the attempted attack, according to Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said targeting civilian facilities demonstrated a reckless disregard for human life and regional security.
Pakistan demanded that the Houthi group immediately and unconditionally cease all attacks against Saudi Arabia.
Islamabad also praised the vigilance and swift response of Saudi authorities in confronting what it described as unjustifiable and unprovoked aggression.
"Pakistan stands resolutely with the leadership and people of the Kingdom and reaffirms its full support for all measures necessary to safeguard its security, sovereignty and territorial integrity," the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry described Saudi Arabia's security as being of paramount importance to Pakistan, reaffirming Islamabad's commitment to the safety and well-being of the Saudi people.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia maintain close strategic, economic and defence relations, with Islamabad repeatedly expressing support for Riyadh's security amid regional tensions.
