On Wednesday, His Excellency President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, President of the Presidential Leadership Council, along with Maj. General Aidaros Al-Zubaidi and Sheikh Othman Majali, the Council members held an international multilateral meeting. The meeting included Mr. Tim Lenderking, the U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen, in addition to high-level officials from the United Kingdom, France, Australia, the European Union, Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan. This multilateral meeting took place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly sessions that were launched, on Tuesday.

During the meeting, they reviewed and discussed latest developments in the Yemeni situation, in addition to the required pressures from the international community and major powers to push the Houthi militias to engage seriously with regional and UN-led mediation efforts aimed at de-escalation and launching a comprehensive political process under the auspices of the United Nations.

The meeting touched upon the path of economic, service, and institutional reforms led by the Presidential Leadership Council and the government. Furthermore, the meeting discussed ways to respond to and support such reforms as the optimal option for promoting opportunities for peace, alleviating the Yemeni People’s suffering, and mitigating the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of Houthi terrorist attacks on oil facilities and international shipping lanes.

The meeting was attended by Dr. Shaya Mohsin Al-Zindani, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ambassador Abdullah Al-Sa’adi, Yemen’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and Mr. Mohammed Al-Hadrami, Yemen’s Ambassador to the United States.
