沙特与阿联酋关系裂痕的最大突破，体现在一份关于“兄弟般的双边关系和地区发展”的平淡声明中。阿联酋副总统谢赫·曼苏尔·本·扎耶德在利雅得与沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼的会晤，是修复两国关系最显著的努力，此前两国在也门、苏丹及其他地区的利益竞争导致关系破裂。周二的“兄弟访问”表明，随着美伊战争威胁到该地区数万亿美元的经济转型投资，海湾内部的竞争正在退居次要地位。
The biggest breakthrough yet in the Saudi-UAE rift came in a bland statement about “brotherly bilateral relations and regional developments.”UAE Vice President Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh is the most prominent effort to repair ties, which have ruptured over competing interests in Yemen, Sudan, and elsewhere. Tuesday’s “fraternal visit” signals that intra-Gulf rivalries are taking a back seat as the US-Iran war threatens trillions of dollars invested in transforming the region’s economies.
阿联酋代表团包括其国家安全委员会、危机管理机构和国防采购机构的负责人，凸显了对安全的关注。接近沙特王室的评论员阿里·希哈比向《金融时报》表示，利雅得希望阿布扎比能够管理也门南部的派系，防止他们破坏反胡塞武装阵线。
The UAE delegation included the heads of its national security council, crisis management authority, and defense procurement body, highlighting the focus on security. Ali Shihabi, a Saudi commentator close to the royal court, told the Financial Times that Riyadh wants Abu Dhabi to manage southern Yemeni factions and prevent them from undermining the anti-Houthi front.
与此同时，巴基斯坦国防部长承诺将动用“一切可用手段”保卫沙特阿拉伯，抵御胡塞武装的袭击。过去一个月里，胡塞武装的导弹袭击已击中沙特境内的关键基础设施和主要城市。他在访问罗马期间对记者表示：“任何沙特的敌人都是巴基斯坦的敌人。”
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s defense minister pledged to use “whatever means are available” to defend Saudi Arabia against the Houthis, whose missile attacks have hit critical infrastructure and major cities in the kingdom over the past month. “Any enemy of Saudi Arabia is an enemy of Pakistan,” he told reporters during a visit to Rome. — Mohammed Sergie
