The minister called those behaviors against Ould Cheikh "irresponsible" and he said they will not prevent the government from pursuing a just and lasting peace based on the three agreed-upon terms of reference; the GCC initiative, the National Dailogue Outcomes and the UNSC resolution 2216.

Al-Mekhlafi thanked the UK government for having pledged the biggest aid to Yemen in the Geneva conference last month.
