He indicated the government's interest in alleviating the suffering that the Yemeni people are enduring as a result of the coup.
He called on Russia to exert more efforts, within the G18 sponsors of political settlement, to have the UN resolutions especially the UNSC resolution 2216 enforced on the Saleh-Houthi coup militias.
