SANAA, July 21 (YPA) – Mehdi al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat met here on Saturday French ambassador to Yemen, Christian Testot, and handed him a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron.

In the meeting, the president confirmed the political council’s support for all peace efforts and its keenness to spare Yemenis’ blood.

Al-Mashat pointed out that the Saudi-led coalition states are continuing in their aggression and military escalation, rejecting all initiatives and calls for peace and recent international movements led by the UN Special Envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths.

The president expressed hope for reopening the Embassy of the Republic of France in Sanaa to facilitate the process of communication and promote bilateral relations between the two countries, especially in economic aspects.

In his letter, the president expressed his hope that the French president would intervene to put an end to this aggression and that France would play an important political role in achieving peace.

During the meeting, al-Mashat reviewed with the French ambassador the developments on the Yemeni arena in light of the continued aggression and siege, which caused the worst humanitarian disaster in the world in the modern history.
