Their rejection and condemnation of threats by the Houthi terrorist militia to the security of the region and the security of maritime navigation in the Red Sea, as well as the threats posed by Iran's nuclear and missile file, further to their agreement to protect Arab water security notably the water security of Egypt and the Sudan, and to coordinate efforts and visions on the issue of countering terrorism and to reject completely any external interference in the internal affairs of the Arab states.
