Maldives backs Yemen’s recognised government, urges political dialogue

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.
