The United Nations:
A high -level Pakistani diplomat called for resolving the conflict in Yemen by “effective diplomacy and a collective response”, noting that it graduated from local to the regional and, ultimately, a crisis with global implications.
Speaking on Thursday at the United Nations Security Council, the Ambassador Munir Akram, permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN, warned that the resumption of military operations would still exacerbate the conflict.
The crisis in Yemen, which worsened in 2014 after the Houthi rebels (officially known as Ansar-Allah) seized the capital, Sanaa, was marked by complex political and military tensions. More than 17 million people – half of the country’s population – remain dependent on humanitarian aid and protection.
The Pakistani envoy said the progress made during the December 2023 negotiations were to be preserved and consolidated, guaranteeing the complete implementation of commitments to lasting peace.
Support the mediation efforts underway by the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, Ambassador Akram, said that he shared his point of view that the roadmap remains a viable path to a cease -national fee.
