RIYADH, 22 May 2022, (TON): Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Minister of Defense met the US Special Envoy for Yemen in Washington to discuss the conflict in Taiz and the need for UN-backed peace proposals to pose pressure on the Houthi militant group.
Prince Khalid bin Salman said “he affirmed to Timothy Lenderking the Saudi-led Coalition’s backing of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council.”
The statement added “although the momentum of the truce remains high, I reaffirmed the need for the United Nations and the international community to pressure the Houthis into reopening the roads of Taiz, deposit revenues of the Hodeidah port, and engage with peace proposals.”
Prince Khalid also said “he reiterated Saudi Arabia’s aspirations for reaching a comprehensive political resolution to the crisis that will lead Yemen into peace and prosperity.”
