President al-Mashat congratulates on EU’s founding anniversary

SANAA, May 10 (YPA) – President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Saturday sent a congratulatory cable to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen on the occasion of the founding anniversary of the European Union (EU).

In the cable, President al-Mashat affirmed that Yemeni people still extend the hand of peace, a just and honorable peace that protects freedoms and preserves the unity of its lands.

He reiterated the call for Saudi-led aggression coalition countries to return to the political solution, welcoming the call of the UN Secretary-General and his special envoy to Yemen for ending the war in the country within a comprehensive and real truce.

The President held the aggression coalition responsible for all results of the bombing, killing, blockade and destruction in Yemen throughout the five years, as well as the current situation in light of the Corona epidemic spread.

He stressed that “What the aggression countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, have done against our people is a genocide war that is incompatible with all the divine religions, charters and international treaties.”

President al-Mashat expressed his hope for a positive role by the European Union in supporting the comprehensive political solution and working to stop the aggression and lift the siege, as well as providing technical and logistical support to confront Corona epidemic in Yemen.
