DOHA: The State of Qatar welcomed the United Nations announcement of a truce extension in Yemen for another two months.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Qatar's hope that the truce extension would pave the way for an expanded armistice agreement and the resumption of the political process, in order to reach a just and sustainable peace that fulfills the aspirations of the Yemeni people for security and development.

The Ministry expressed Qatar's appreciation for the continuous efforts exerted by the United Nations to achieve sustainable peace in Yemen. It also renewed its position calling for resolving the Yemeni crisis based on the GCC Initiative and relevant Security Council resolutions, especially Resolution No. 2216.
