“We welcome the two month-long extension of the truce declared in Yemen on the occasion of the month of Ramadan upon the initiative of the United Nations (UN),” the Ministry said. “We consider the extension of the truce as a hopeful step towards a permanent ceasefire between the Yemeni parties and the resolution of the conflict within the framework of the UN Security Council resolutions and agreed international parameters, through dialogue and on the basis of constitutional legitimacy.”
“In this process, Türkiye will continue to support the efforts of the UN Special Envoy to promote dialogue, and solidarity with the people of Yemen,” the Ministry underlined.
A truce between the Government in Yemen and Houthi forces has been renewed for an additional two months, UN Special Envoy for the country Hans Grundberg announced on Thursday.
“By agreeing to implement and now renewing the truce, the parties have provided a rare glimmer of hope to Yemenis that an end to this devastating conflict is possible,” he said in a statement.
The extension comes into effect at 7 pm, local time, and under the same terms as the original UN-brokered agreement, which began on 2 April.
The initial two-month truce, the first since 2016, began on April 2 and was set to expire on Thursday. (ILKHA)
