We hoped that the experiment of political transfer would be a successful story to emerging democratic countries, she said, expressing frustration over halting the truck.

While Jeli renewed support of the EU to the internationally recognized government under President Hadi, she denounced all Houthi human rights violations.

She confirmed she will give the issue of violations against journalists serious concern and convey their suffering to relevant bodies.
