Abdulsalam welcomes Griffiths’ statement on commitment to Sweden agreement in Hodeidah

SANAA, Oct. 8 (YPA) – Head of Sanaa negotiating delegation and spokesman for Ansarullah, Mohammed Abdulsalam, on Thursday welcomed the statement of the UN envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths, in which he stressed on the commitment to Sweden agreement on Hodeidah.

“We welcome the statement of the UN envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths regarding the commitment to Stockholm Agreement and the positive and effective dealing with the joint implementation mechanisms of the United Nations mission to support Hodeidah agreement,” Abdulsalam said in a tweet on his account on Twitter.

The UN envoy had expressed his concern about the military escalation in Hodeidah province, as it is not only a violation of the ceasefire agreement in Hodeidah, but also it contradicts the spirit of the existing negotiations sponsored by the United Nations to reach a ceasefire in all parts of Yemen.

In his statement Thursday, Griffiths called on the Yemeni parties to immediately stop hostilities, respect their commitments in the Stockholm Agreement and interact with the efforts of the United Nations mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement.
