In a statement issued in Islamabad today, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tahir Andrabi said such actions threaten regional security, undermine freedom of navigation, challenge the rules-based maritime order and jeopardize uninterrupted flow of global commerce.

He said threats against commercial shipping and trading with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are unacceptable and violate established principles of international law.

The Spokesperson said Pakistan is particularly concerned by reports of threats directed against vessels engaged in lawful commercial trade with the Kingdom.

Tahir Andrabi said Pakistan has reaffirmed that any hostile act against Pakistani-flagged vessels or Pakistani maritime interests will be regarded as a grave threat to Pakistan’s national security and sovereign interests.
