(MENAFN) Boris Johnson has spoken of his "profound concern" for people in Yemen and said that "force alone" will not bring stability to the country.
But the foreign secretary said he understood the Saudi need to be "secure from bombardment" from Yemen.
He was speaking in Bahrain a day after being rebuked by Downing Street for accusing Saudi Arabia of engaging in "proxy wars" in the region.
Mr Johnson also said Brexit would allow UK free trade deals in the Gulf.
