<p>The UK and Saudi Arabia have a longstanding bilateral relationship based on a number
of pillars including defence, security, trade and investment, shared concerns about
regional issues and energy security. The UK supports Saudi Arabia’s efforts to protect
its national security against critical threats, such as the ballistic missiles and
drones fired by the Houthis into civilian areas in Saudi Arabia.</p><p>The UK works
with Saudi Arabia to ensure targeting procedures are compliant with International
Humanitarian Law (IHL), and we regularly raise the importance of IHL compliance with
Saudi Arabia, including at senior levels. The UK is not a member of the Saudi-led
Coalition and the UK’s role is limited to providing advice, information and assistance
to help Saudi Arabia respond to airborne threats launched by the Houthis. The UK has
no role in setting Coalition policy.</p>
