According to official Omani sources, the call focused on intensifying international efforts to uphold humanitarian principles and enforce UN resolutions aimed at restoring peace and stability in Yemen. Sultan Haitham shared his vision for a diplomatic path forward, emphasizing the need for inclusive dialogue and sustained humanitarian support.

The leaders also addressed the importance of protecting civilians and ensuring access to aid in conflict zones. Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to international law and the role of multilateral cooperation in resolving protracted crises.
