GCC foreign ministers back ‘roadmap for peace’ in Yemen, optimistic of Lebanon ‘breakthrough’

RIYADH, 09 April 2022, (TON): Foreign ministers from Gulf Cooperation Council member states backed latest efforts to end the war in Yemen which they described as offering fresh hope of a roadmap for peace.

During the 151st session of the council, held in Riyadh, delegates also welcomed moves from the newly formed Yemeni presidential council to start negotiations with the Iran-backed Houthis.

Following his decision to step down as Yemen’s president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi delegated the presidential council to run the government and lead peace talks with the militant group, and the GCC ministers expressed their full support for the new authority.

Saudi political analyst, Mubarak Al-Ati, said “the Gulf states continue to assert that they are the ones who lead the joint Arab action by addressing the various Arab issues.”
