Aden, March 23, 2021, SPA -- The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs thanked the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for all the support provided to Yemen politically, economically and militarily, and for its stand by Yemen to face the destructive Iranian project in the region. The Ministry welcomed the initiative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia regarding a comprehensive ceasefire, the opening of Sanaa Airport to a number of destinations, the completion of the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement. The Ministry also welcomed the entry of ships of all kinds as long as they abide by relevant Security Council resolutions provided that funds are deposited to the Central Bank, and support the return to political consultations, which is the same position expressed by the government of the Republic of Yemen with all the calls for peace and at negotiations, in order to alleviate the human suffering of the Yemeni people. This initiative comes in response to international efforts aimed at ending war and human suffering, and it is a real test to the willingness of the Iran backed militias to achieve peace, and a test to the efficiency of the international community which is calling for an end to the war and for resuming the political track. The Yemeni government is fully aware that ending the suffering of the Yemenis will not be without an end to the coup and the war sparked by the Houthi militia, and confirms that it will remain as it was with all efforts aimed at achieving peace in a way that guarantees ending the coup, restoring the state and rejecting the destructive Iranian project in Yemen. --SPA 03:38 LOCAL TIME 00:38 GMT 0010 www.spa.gov.sa/w1529011
