Mubarak’s comments come ahead of a closed session of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Yemen scheduled for Monday, where a report by UN envoy Hans Grundberg on the latest developments related to efforts to renew and extend the lapsed ceasefire will be considered will .
Amid Yemeni hopes for a lasting peace, an Omani delegation returned to Sana’a a few days ago to convince the Houthis of the United Nations and region’s proposals, local media reported.
The day before in Riyadh, the foreign minister met French Ambassador to Yemen Jean-Marie Safa to discuss events in the country with a view to peace efforts.
At the meeting, he emphasized that the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) strives for peace and the restoration of security and national stability, but the fact that there is no partner who believes in a peaceful solution is frustrating all efforts to get out of the crisis to come out according to official information.
For his part, the French ambassador indicated that Paris supports the process and will continue to contribute to peacemaking.
