PM receives phone call from the US Envoy to Yemen

ADEN – SABA
Prime Minister Dr. Maeen Abdulmalik received today, Wednesday, a telephone call from the US Special Envoy to Yemen Timothy Lenderking.

The phone conversation dealt with the latest developments in the Yemeni national landscape, mainly the UN-led peace process and the US ongoing efforts aim to make peace in Yemen.

The Prime Minister reinstated that the government is very keen to deal constructively with all efforts aiming to achieve the durable peace based on the three terms of reference; blaming Iran-allied Houthi militia for prolong the war and blocking all good offices and efforts intended to stop fighting and negotiate political settlement.

“The International Community and the US face a real test to press for peace by ramping up pressures upon Houthi militia and its sponsors in Tehran”, said Maeen.

For his part, Lenderking confirmed his administration’s support for the Yemeni government and for its presence and actions in the temporary capital Aden; rejecting any outlawed actions undermine the consensus realized per Riyadh Agreement.
