The United Arab Emirates said on Saturday it is following with concern the developments that have taken place in Yemen over the past few hours and expresses its regret over the ongoing escalation.
In a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE called upon Yemenis to prioritise wisdom, exercise restraint, and work toward achieving security and stability in the country.
Based on its unwavering commitment to Yemen’s security, stability, and prosperity, the UAE emphasised the importance of de-escalation, prioritising dialogue over confrontation, and addressing existing differences among the Yemeni people through understanding and consensus on sustainable political solutions. This requires a rational and responsible approach that places the interests of the nation and its people first, and prioritises the rebuilding, stability, and prosperity of Yemen.
The UAE further affirmed that de-escalation and constructive dialogue remain the most effective path to overcoming current challenges, contributing to lasting stability in Yemen and the region, and fulfilling the aspirations of their peoples for security and prosperity.
