Al Jaber stressed that the leadership of the kingdom is keen that peace prevails in Yemen and Yemeni brothers reach solutions in accordance with the UN resolution 2216.
He added, "All efforts are concentrated towards the success of the existing consultations and we continue meetings with our colleagues the ambassadors of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), as well as the ambassadors of the 18 countries in their meetings with Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the UN envoy to Yemen, to discuss the mechanisms and ways to support Ould Cheikh in his mission fully to ensure the success of Yemeni-Yemeni consultations between the two parties of the legitimacy and the putschists.
The Saudi ambassador to Yemen said that the kingdom has made great efforts for the success of these consultations and included what has been done in the kingdom's hosting of the Yemeni brothers in Dhahran Aljanoob, at the beginning of last month and seven agreements were signed within the Yemeni provinces and both parties welcomed the efforts of Riyadh, and valued them for its keenness to achieve security, peace, stability and reaching comprehensive and complete solutions, to achieve stability of the Yemeni people, according to UN resolution 2216.
He added that these arrangements for a cease-fire included the appointment of a Yemeni joint military commission of the two parties to monitor the situation in these provinces, and work to prevent any breaches by the Yemeni parties, in addition to another civilian committee whose mission is to open humanitarian corridors in coordination with the United Nations and provide humanitarian assistance and relief, whether the aid coming from King Salman center for humanitarian aid or via the United Nations, so that they reach the Yemeni people, especially since the two sides welcomed that the kingdom and the United Nations oversee through the truce and coordination committee the functioning of these committees and reaching this result, a major achievement which contributed to the success of the Yemeni consultations.
Ambassador Al Jaber pointed out that his meetings with the ambassadors of Gulf states and the 18 countries, along with Ould Cheikh, extend to sitting down with the Yemeni parties, either individually or collectively, to bring views together for the success of these consultations.
The Saudi ambassador to Yemen said that the presence of Yemenis around one negotiations table in a Gulf state under patronage of the UN, in accordance with the terms of reference of the Gulf initiative and the UN Security Council Resolution 2216, and the output of the national dialogue conference, makes us optimistic that the Yemenis will arrive to solutions conducive to the security and stability of Yemen, and leading to peace. He added, "the current consultations among the Yemeni parties must face some sort of push and pull, and that naturally occurs in any consultations on this matter, but the path is clear to all in a single framework, in order to serve the interest and stability of Yemen's security and safety."
