Italy welcomes Saudi Arabia’s announcement of a unilateral ceasefire in Yemen and halt of military operations there.
This is an important signal, which gives new impetus to the UN-led negotiations and opens up prospects for improving humanitarian conditions in the country and achieving a lasting peace.
Italy reaffirms its full support to the Special Envoy Martin Griffiths and appeals to all parties to reach a sustainable compromise as soon as possible and put an end to the dramatic conflict in Yemen.
