Further to my email of 1 April, herewith update:
Pakistan Covert Deal with Saudi on Yemen:
Status:
For Yemen war, Saudi King basically asked Pak PM for ground troops to gain control of & hold a swathe of land inside Yemen on very sensitive part of Saudi border. Pak Army refused, national consensus remains against entering the war, offering however, defence of Saudi soverignty & territorial integrity & support for a negotiated solution. Pak has not yet decided if it will officially enter the regional alliance.
Next: Saudis asked Pak for military aircraft & warships to control Yemen ports, esp. Aden — Pak Army again refused physical presence on Yemen soil.
