Egypt and Saudi Arabia have agreed on the urgent need to protect navigation through the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
The talks followed renewed Houthi advances and attacks on Saudi territory and energy infrastructure.
About 12% of global trade passes through the Red Sea corridor connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.
A new disruption could hurt Egypt’s recovering Suez Canal revenue and force ships to travel around Africa again. #Egypt #SaudiArabia
