UAE FM: Efforts should focus on confronting Yemen’s Houthis, terrorist groups
The UAE has expressed on Saturday concern over the
ongoing armed clashes in Aden, calling for de-escalation and maintaining the
security and safety of Yemeni citizens, according to Emirates News Agency
(WAM).
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the UAE, said that efforts
should focus on confronting Yemen’s Houthis and terrorist groups.
The minister called for responsible and serious
dialogue in order to end the differences and work for unity to maintain
security and stability.
He also stressed that the UAE, as an active partner
in the Arab Coalition, is exerting all efforts to de-escalate in Aden.
He added that UN envoy Martin Griffiths should push
for the parties to de-escalate the situation in Aden, because of the negative
impact it would have on the UN’s effort to maintain stability and security
through dialogue and negotiations.
