Saudi, Japan FMs discuss Houthi attacks, maritime security

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Japanese counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi held a call to discuss Houthi attacks on Saudi territory and broader maritime security. The call signals diplomatic coordination between a key Red Sea littoral state and a major shipping-dependent economy, but no concrete measures were announced. The development is routine diplomatic engagement, with no new escalation or policy shift indicated.
