President of Yemen calls for unconditional implementation of resolution 2216

President of Yemen, Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi, received yesterday in Riyadh ambassadors of the G18, made up of the GCC countries, permanent Security Council members, in addition to Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, Japan and Egypt. The official Yemeni News Agency said Mansour applauded the efforts of the G18 countries in putting an end to the conflict in Yemen in 2011 through a mechanism for national dialogue. "The dialogue covered all issues and was conducted in a transparent manner, but the Houthis and (former President Ali Abdullah) Saleh staged a military coup against the will of the Yemeni people and the outcome of the national dialogue," he said. President Hadi called on the rebel forces to accept implementation of the UN resolution 2216 unconditionally and urged the international community to mount the pressure on that direction. He also said that he issued directives to authorities in Yemen to allow access to all imports of fuel and humanitarian relief materials through Yemeni ports. The ambassadors praised the efforts being made to guarantee a peaceful and prosperous future for Yemen and renewed their support to the legitimacy in Yemen under President Hadi. – Emirates News Agency, WAM - http://www.wam.ae/en/news/emirates/1395286728414.html
