Doha, Qatar: The State of Qatar welcomed the efforts undertaken by the legitimate Yemeni government to support the Yemeni dialogue process and address the Southern Issue. In this context, Qatar commends the request of the President of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council to convene a conference in the city of Riyadh to bring the parties together for dialogue and to discuss fair solutions, reflecting his commitment to dialogue as a means of addressing national issues.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the State of Qatar’s appreciation to the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for hosting this conference, within the framework of its continued support for efforts aimed at achieving security and stability in the sisterly Republic of Yemen.
The Ministry underscored the importance of the constructive participation of all southern components in the forthcoming conference in Riyadh, in a manner that prioritizes the interests of the brotherly Yemeni people. It also stresses the need to adhere to the outcomes of the National Dialogue Conference as the consensual framework and comprehensive mechanism for reaching an inclusive political solution that meets the aspirations of the Yemeni people in all their components, and preserves Yemen’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that unilateral declarations and measures taken without consultation and consensus among Yemeni parties, and without engaging in serious and responsible dialogue, could lead to a slide toward chaos, harming the interests of the brotherly Yemeni people and undermining prospects for reaching a sustainable political settlement.
The Ministry reaffirmed the State of Qatar’s full support for all regional and international efforts aimed at advancing the political process, contributing to an end to the Yemeni crisis through dialogue and peaceful means, in a manner that serves the security and stability of Yemen and the region.
