FM meets UN envoy to Yemen

SANAA, July 17 (YPA) – Foreign Minister Hisham Sharaf on Wednesday with the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths.

The meeting reviewed the recent moves of the UN envoy in several capitals of the countries concerned with the Yemeni file, which aimed at completing the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement, and the efforts to reach a comprehensive political settlement and bring stability and peace to Yemen.

The Foreign Minister stressed that the other party should realize that the desired peace is for the Yemeni people and the homeland, noting that addressing the humanitarian situation and avoiding a complete economic collapse should be a priority.

Sharaf warned against the continuation of the other party loyal to the aggression in the policy of collective punishment against citizens by restricting their rights to obtain passports and move abroad.

For his part, the UN envoy confirmed that he would continue exerting efforts to reach a peaceful political solution that restores security and stability to Yemen.
