Further, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia notes with concern that the ballistic missile attacks on March 25, in addition to the recent naval attack were launched following the visit of the EU delegation to Sana'a on 19 March 2018. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reiterates that many concerned countries have warned against such visits to Al-Houthis as Al-Houthi interpreted such contacts as legitimizing them, in particular legitimizing Al-Houthi's continued use of violence and refusing to engage in political dialogue with the legitimate government in Yemen as recognized in the relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2216. The Kingdom Saudi Arabia also reiterates that Al-Houthi's rejection of the political dialogue was strongly confirmed by Al-Houthi's rejection of UN proposals to increase commercial and humanitarian shipments through the Red Sea ports, including new arrangements for the administration of Al-Hudaidah port and city, in addition to their rejection of agreeing to resume government salaries and maintain basic governmental services in all regions of Yemen. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia notes with regret the extent to which Al-Houthis have stubbornly rejected such proposals, which would significantly improve the humanitarian situation in Yemen, warning that Al-Houthis will continue to refuse to engage in any political dialogue as long as they are ordered to do that by their sponsor, Iran. --SPA 04:58 LOCAL TIME 01:58 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w659654
