NEW-YORK-SABA
The Republic of Yemen confirmed that the Houthi militias still constitute the greatest and most dangerous threat to the security and stability of Yemen, the region, the world and international navigation, and that the peace we seek cannot be built with militias that see war, chaos and destruction as a means of survival... underlining that supporting the Yemeni state economically, politically and security is a direct investment in the security and stability of the region and the world.

Yemen's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Abdullah al-Saadi, reaffirmed the Yemeni government's full commitment to strengthening the close strategic partnership with the international community to confront common threats, combat terrorism and organized crime, and protect international navigation.

Speaking at the Security Council at the open session on the situation in the Middle East (Yemen) al-Saadi said "I speak to you today again, at a different stage in the course of the situation in Yemen, focusing on enhancing security and stability and mobilizing all efforts and energies towards the goal of restoring the state and its institutions and alleviating the humanitarian suffering caused by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militias".

He went on saying "Over the past few weeks, the Yemeni government has made tangible progress in: unifying security and military decision-making and improving basic services, including addressing the electricity crisis and paying the salaries of civilian and military employees with the support of the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

"Rapid progress can also be observed in efforts to end the militarization of cities, a step that had been stalled for years, and in closing all illegal prisons, al-Saadi added.
