Pakistan is concerned by the overthrow of the legitimate government in Yemen and will stand by Saudi Arabia as it leads a coalition against Houthi rebels, Al Arabiya News quoted Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as saying on Friday.
“We have agreed to extend all possible support in the defense of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Sharif told a news conference in the Turkish capital Ankara, where he is on an official visit.
Sharif on Thursday called for a joint session of parliament to consider whether to join the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen.
