Saudi Arabia is eager for Germany to resume weapons supplies despite Berlin providing a fraction of its arms needs
The Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud attends a panel discussion during the 56th Munich Security Conference in Munich, southern Germany, on February 15, 2020. The 2020 edition of the Munich Security Conference takes place from February 14 to 16, 2020.
Referring to the attacks on Saudi oil facilities last year which Riyadh blamed on Iran, the foreign minister told DPA news agency: “We hope Germany understands that we need the means to defend ourselves.” Berlin imposed the ban in March 2019 and expanded it twice for six months, making it effective until March 2020.
Despite pressure from Britain and France, Germany’s ruling coalition government has refused the continuation of arms exports to not only Saudi Arabia but also other countries that are part of the Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen.
