Saudi Embassy: There are no arms deals between Saudi Arabia and Australia.

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Canberra denies the content in the Sydney Morning Herald’s article titled “Australia selling military equipment to Saudi Arabia during brutal Yemen conflict” on 26/3/2017 and the Canberra Times article “Senate pressures the Ministry of Defence to clarify its arms deal with the Kingdom” dated 30/3/2017, and the statement of the Spokesperson of the Greens Senator Scott Ludlam stating that the Kingdom is one of the most oppressive regimes in the world and that it is participating in a ferocious attack against Yemeni People.

The Embassy would like to state that there are no arms deals between Saudi Arabia and Australia. The above claims are not true. The Embassy emphasizes that the Kingdom stands by the Yemeni People.
