NY-SABA
In a meeting with the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, in New York on Friday, Foreign Minister Abdul-Malik al-Mekhlafi highlighted the government's persistently positive reactions to peace proposals including the proposals of the UN Special Envoy Ismail OuldCheikh.

He informed him about the government's agreement on OuldCheikh's proposal that the Saleh-Houthi coup militias hand over the Red Seaport and city of Hodeidah to a third neutral party to run it for civilian purposes and send the revenues to the government versus the government's assumption of paying salaries to civil servants. A proposal that only the government agreed to.

Al-Mekhlafi said the government's openness to all peace proposals stems from its concern about the citizens feeling the urge to relieve them from their suffering, unlike the coup militias.

He called on the international community to direct a clear and strong message to the coupers that they must return to peace as per the internationally recognized pertinent references.

Feltman affirmed the international community's unanimity around the necessity of finding political settlement.
