Arabia Saudí hacia Yemen
-45Saudi Arabia has supported Yemen’s internationally recognized government with military and financial assistance, while leading the coalition intervention against Houthi forces beginning in 2015. Saudi Arabia has also pursued direct diplomacy with Houthi representatives, including talks in Sana’a in 2023.
Yemen hacia Arabia Saudí
-35Yemen’s internationally recognized government has cooperated with Saudi Arabia and requested its military intervention against the Houthis. Houthi forces, which control substantial territory and operate as a de facto authority, have launched attacks on Saudi territory, complicating any single account of Yemeni policy toward Saudi Arabia.
Relación general
-40The bilateral relationship combines a formal border settlement and sustained Saudi support for Yemen’s recognized government with Saudi military intervention and Houthi attacks on Saudi territory. Yemen’s divided governance makes the relationship uneven: cooperation with the recognized government coexists with conflict involving the Houthi de facto authorities.
