The Ambassador went on saying "Today, with the increasingly growing diplomatic momentum once again an optimistic spirit prevails in Yemen as the milieus have become prepared more than ever to achieve peace….,the Presidential Leadership Council reiterates its commitment to work for a sustainable peace, secure future that the Yemeni people deserve".

Assa'id continued, "The Yemeni government also commends the continuous efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to alleviate human suffering and revive the peace path in Yemen as an extension of its initiative announced in March 2021"
He added" The government reaffirms its support for the efforts of brothers in the Kingdom and all regional and international good offices aiming to put an end of the Yemeni crisis and achieve comprehensive and sustainable peace that is based on the terms of reference for the agreed upon political solution including the GCC's Initiative and its implementation mechanism, the outcomes of the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference, and the UNSCRs in relevance namely 2216".

The Ambassador reaffirmed the government's keenness to end the suffering of the Yemeni people, deal constructively with the efforts of all brothers and friends that aim to establish a comprehensive ceasefire and launch of a comprehensive political process led by the UN through its special envoy to Yemen to make peace, end the conflict, restore state's institutions.
