SPA - Riyadh:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s welcome to the initiative announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan regarding the operation of regular commercial flights between Amman and Sanaa, contributing to meeting the humanitarian needs of the brotherly Yemeni people and facilitating civilian movement.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified in a statement that the Kingdom welcomes the Yemeni government’s approval of this initiative as a positive step reflecting its keenness to facilitate procedures that serve Yemeni citizens and support efforts to alleviate humanitarian suffering. The Kingdom calls on the Houthis to interact positively with this initiative instead of repeating their previous decisions that caused increased suffering for the brotherly Yemeni people and to cease any escalatory practices or actions that drag Yemen and its brotherly people into further suffering.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reiterated its support for all initiatives that contribute to achieving security and stability in Yemen, preserving its sovereignty and fulfilling the aspirations of its brotherly people.
