Saudi Arabia – Yemen peace initiative (22 March 2021)

France welcomes the Saudi peace initiative for Yemen. We applaud the Yemeni government’s decision to accept this initiative. The Houthis must now respond favorably to this proposal so that a process to end the crisis can begin, and end the suffering of the Yemeni people.

France calls on all Yemeni stakeholders to implement the ceasefire and start negotiations to achieve a comprehensive, inclusive political agreement, under the auspices of the UN.
