The new framework aims to strengthen defence cooperation across one of the world’s most important shipping routes, a chokepoint for global trade and energy flows.
Saudi Defence Ministry announced a coalition to strengthen defence cooperation across the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
