The Houthis' decision to resume conflict in Yemen, attack Government of Yemen positions, advance towards the Bab al-Mandeb, and launch strikes against Saudi Arabia is reckless and unacceptable, following years of efforts to constructively engage them in dialogue towards peace. It has endangered and displaced innocent civilians, undermines regional stability, and threatens one of the world's most important trade routes.
The Bab al-Mandeb Strait connects the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, a crucial maritime corridor for a significant proportion of global trade. Any disruption therefore increases costs for businesses, undermines supply chains and puts further pressure on the UK economy. This is why our focus remains on helping to protect civilians, supporting regional stability and encouraging de-escalation. The UK continues to work closely with like-minded partners on maritime security and efforts to safeguard freedom of navigation through the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait.

The Government is closely monitoring the impact of disruption in the Middle East to key shipping routes. This includes regularly assessing the impact on UK supply chains, disruption to trade, including any rerouting of container ships, and of increases in prices of critical goods, shipping and energy. In doing so, we are actively drawing input from businesses on supply chain pressures and their own contingency planning. We also continue to work with businesses and our international partners to protect trade and investment across the Gulf region.

We condemn Houthi attacks on shipping in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and on regional countries. The UK is working with international allies to safeguard shipping and international trade transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Through the UK led Yemen Maritime Security Partnership (YMSP), partners including the Government of Yemen, the United States, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Japan and the European Union, are working to help strengthen Yemen Coast Guard capabilities, improve maritime security, disrupt weapons smuggling and support freedom of navigation. The UK has committed $4 million to the partnership, which has secured over $20 million in international pledges and engaged more than 35 international partners to strengthen security along Yemen's coastline and the Red Sea. As UN Security Council penholder on Yemen, the UK is also working with partners to strengthen the UNSCR 2140 Yemen sanctions regime, arms embargo implementation, support the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism (UNVIM), and target Houthi procurement networks.

On 23 July, the Foreign Secretary met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and discussed a range of global security issues which have implications for the UK's economic prosperity, including Russia's illegal war against Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.

China will continue to play a vital role in supporting the UK's secure growth. It is currently equivalent to our third largest trading partner in goods, after the EU and the US, and the economic relationship supports over 370,000 British jobs. We are taking a consistent, long term and strategic approach to economic relations with China, rooted in UK and global interests.

The Foreign Affairs Committee called for this...
