Xinhua, October 23, 2016 Adjust font size:

Jordan on Sunday voiced support for UN's efforts to restore stability in Yemen, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

At a meeting in Amman between UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed and Jordan Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, the two sides stressed on the importance of continued cooperation towards regional issues.

They also looked into the security and humanitarian conditions in Yemen and efforts to find a settlement to the political crisis in the country.

Judeh stressed on the need for implementing UN resolutions on Yemen including the 2216 resolution.

In the resolution, the Security Council demands that the Houthis withdraw from all areas seized during the latest conflict, relinquish arms seized from military and security institutions, cease all actions falling exclusively within the authority of the legitimate Yemeni Government and fully implement previous Council resolutions.

The UN official stressed on the key role Jordan plays in attaining regional security and stability. Endit
