The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor has been closely following the current developments and expresses its full and responsible support for everything contained in the statement issued by the members of the Presidential Leadership Council: (Vice President Aidarous Qassem Al-Zubaidi – Vice President Abdulrahman Al-Mahrami – Vice President Faraj Salmin Al-Bahsani – Vice President Tariq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh), issued today, Tuesday, 10 Rajab 1447 AH, corresponding to 30 December 2025.

The Ministry affirms that the contents of this statement clearly embody the free will of our people and their legitimate aspirations towards building a secure and stable future, based on social justice, the preservation of human dignity, and the achievement of a decent life for all segments of society, under a state that respects the law, guarantees rights, and upholds the value of social peace.

In this context, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor stresses the importance of preserving the fraternal relations and strategic partnership that unite us with our brethren in the Arab Coalition countries, foremost among them the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This partnership has formed a fundamental pillar in confronting the Houthi sectarian project and has effectively contributed to protecting the security and stability of the region.

The Ministry affirms that the role played by the United Arab Emirates, alongside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was and continues to be appreciated and respected, for the tremendous sacrifices, generous humanitarian, developmental, and security support they have provided—support that cannot be ignored or denied, but is recorded in the conscience of our people as a testament to loyalty and a fateful partnership.

The Ministry also calls on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint, resort to responsible dialogue, and prioritize the higher interest, in a manner that preserves unity, safeguards regional partnerships, and thwarts targeting and distortion attempts led by hostile forces aligned with cross-border projects that seek to undermine the national fabric, distort the role of the Arab Coalition, and harm the security and stability of the peoples of the region.

While we affirm that the partnership of the United Arab Emirates has been and continues to be the linchpin in strengthening the Arab national security project and enhancing efforts to combat extremism, terrorism, and the expansionist Houthi sectarian project, in addition to its great humanitarian role in supporting development projects, social services, and reconstruction.

While the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor reiterates its firm stance in siding with the just causes of our people, it affirms its full commitment to its national and social role, and to working with all relevant entities to promote stability, protect society, and advance the path of development and peace.

May God grant success.
