The conversations also touched upon the recent developments about the implementation of Hodeidah agreement. Assa'di blamed Houthi militia for keeping on foot-dragging, refusing to carry out its obligations stipulated in Stockholm Agreement about Hodeidah, particularly the withdrawal from Hodeidah city and seaports.
He also noted that Houthi militia has continued to reject to allow a UN's team access to Safer floating oil reservoir, contains one million and one hundred and forty barrels of crude oil, though it is in dire need of maintenance.
Assa'di condemned the Iranian regime for recognizing Houthi militant militia's representative as Ambassador to Tehran though the Republic of Yemen cut-off diplomatic relations with Iran on October 2,2015. However, the Iranian government handed over Yemen's embassy premises to the militia, enabling its representative to act in the name of a sovereign state member of the UN; violating Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations.
