Coalition states escalation in western coast impedes peace efforts: FM

SANAA, June 12 (YPA) – Foreign Minister Hisham Sharaf on Tuesday said the military escalation of Saudi-led coalition states in Yemen’s west coast hinders the efforts of the UN special envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffith, to resume the peace negotiations.

During his meeting with Director of the Office of the UN Special Envoy to Yemen, Nicholas Davies, in Sanaa, Sharaf confirmed the keenness of the Supreme Political council and the National Salvation Government on achieving a peaceful political settlement.

He stressed at the same time on the right of Yemeni people in defending their country against any aggressive forces aiming to prejudice dignity and sovereignty of Yemen.
