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".
