The Minister affirmed that the Yemeni government is keen on peace and is working hard to achieve it and has dealt positively with all initiatives aimed at reaching a lasting and comprehensive peace in accordance with the agreed terms of reference.
He pointed out to the Yemeni government's immediate welcome of the Saudi ceasefire initiative announced yesterday saying this confirms the government's seriousness in its endeavor to achieve peace and national reconciliation.
Bin Mubarak said the Houthi militia bear responsibility for the repercussions of not dealing positively with the initiative.
