The Government of Maldives said it is closely monitoring developments in Yemen and reaffirmed its support for the country’s internationally recognised government.
In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malé welcomed a call by Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council for comprehensive talks aimed at reaching a political settlement through dialogue.
The Maldives also welcomed Saudi Arabia’s initiative to host a conference in Riyadh, describing it as a constructive step that reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to Yemen’s security and stability and to advancing a peaceful solution through diplomacy.
Yemen has been mired in conflict for more than a decade, with repeated international efforts underway to revive negotiations and bring an end to the fighting.
