Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi received today the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, who is currently visiting Yemen.
The Prime Minister welcomed the UN envoy on his current visit, noting the efforts he is making despite the suspension of dialogues with other parties and Saudi Arabia’s delay in signing the roadmap that was reached under UN sponsorship.
Al-Rahwi called on the United Nations to intensify its efforts and exert pressure on other parties who view peace from the perspective of losing their self-interests, and to continue building on the steps that have been made so far.
He reiterated the clarity of Sana’a’s stance on peace, emphasizing its commitment and efforts to achieve a just and honorable peace that guarantees the security, sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of the Yemeni republic, and ends the occupation.
The Prime Minister pointed out that Yemen is part of the region and the world, and that the time has come for its people to live in security and stability without guardianship or foreign interference in its internal affairs.
The meeting discussed the UN’s role in resuming communication between the various parties, continuing to build on the agreements made during the past period, and proceeding according to the roadmap that was reached.
The discussion also touched on Yemen’s principled humanitarian and ethical stance in supporting the oppressed people of Gaza, which is tied to the continuation or cessation of the escalation depending on whether the Israeli enemy adheres to ending its criminal aggression on the Gaza Strip.
It was emphasized that new routes should be opened for travelers through Sanaa International Airport, given the ongoing suffering of travelers due to the restriction of travel to a single destination, Jordan, forcing passengers seeking treatment abroad to bear additional burdens without justification.
The UN envoy explained that his visit is part of the UN’s efforts regarding the peace process and building on the progress made during the past period.
He stressed that the United Nations supports any future steps that lead to peace and strongly backs this path.
He pointed out that previous agreements are still valid and can be built upon in the coming phase, expressing his gratitude for the cooperation of the government with his office in Sana’a and with him personally.
