The Maldives government has expressed its strong support for the continuous efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to reach a comprehensive political solution to end the crisis in Yemen.
A statement issued by the Foreign Ministry said the government especially welcomes the recent meetings held in Sanaa during the period 8 to 13 April, 2023 by the Saudi delegation, headed by His Excellency Mohammad Al Jabir, the Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to Yemen, building upon the Saudi Initiative announced in March 2021, and the positive momentum created by the humanitarian truce in Yemen since its announcement by the United Nations in April 2022.
The Maldives government called on all Yemeni parties (the legitimate government and the Houthis) to respond positively to these efforts to achieve the aspirations of the Yemeni people for development, prosperity, peace, and stability in Yemen.
