Saudi Arabia had asked Pakistan to come to their aid in war against Houthis of Yemen. PM Nawaz Sharif had called a joint session of parliament to decide whether to send Pakistan Army troops or not. The Parliament decided to show neutrality towards the issue on 10th April, 2015.

UAE's Reaction on Pakistan's Decision:-

“The Arabian Gulf is in a dangerous confrontation, its strategic security is on the edge, and the moment of truth distinguishes between the real ally and the ally of media and statements,” Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Mohammed Gargash tweeted after a unanimous resolution passed by a special session of Pakistan’s parliament.

The resolution, however, backed the government’s commitment to protect Saudi Arabia’s territory, which has so far not been threatened by the conflict.

Gargash said Pakistan is required to show a clear stand in favour of its strategic relations with the six-nation Arab Gulf cooperation Council, as contradictory and ambiguous views on this serious matter will have a heavy price to pay.
