Cyprus’ Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos and his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan on Thursday reaffirmed, in a telephone conversation, the two countries’ commitment to regional security and stability.
Kombos said on X that in a phone call today with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan, he reiterated Cyprus’ full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and support to its sovereignty and territorial integrity after the Houthi attacks. ‘All attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure are unacceptable and should cease immediately’, Kombos said.
Cyprus, he notes, is a firm advocate of keeping the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz open to international shipping, ensuring freedom of navigation and safe passage according to international law, as reflected in UNCLOS. ‘We reaffirmed our commitment to regional security and stability’, he said.
