Aden, KUNA: Kuwait’s ambassador to the Republic of Yemen, Falah Al-Mutairi, praised the efforts of the United Nations and its Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in accordance with locally agreed reference points supported by the international community.
This came during a luncheon hosted by Ambassador Al-Mutairi at the Kuwaiti embassy in Yemen in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in honor of UN envoy Hans Grundberg, with the attendance of ambassadors from several Arab and foreign countries accredited to Yemen.
In a statement to KUNA, Ambassador Al-Mutairi said that Kuwait has been a key supporter of the Yemen peace process, hosting a round of direct negotiations that lasted nearly four months in 2016 under UN auspices, in line with its constant commitment to restoring security and stability and achieving peace in the Republic of Yemen.
Al-Mutairi welcomed the upcoming visit of the UN envoy to Kuwait from the 23rd to the 24th of this month.
He reaffirmed Kuwait’s continued support for all UN efforts aimed at achieving comprehensive and just peace in accordance with the three reference points: the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative and its implementation mechanism, the outcomes of the National Dialogue Conference, and relevant UN Security Council resolutions on Yemen, particularly Resolution 2216.
