<p>We have been at the forefront of international efforts to reach a political settlement
to the conflict in Yemen. The UK has used its role as penholder at the UN Security
Council to help push the Yemen peace process forward. In September 2019, the UK co-hosted
a political event at the UN General Assembly where UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths
briefed his plan to begin political consultations. We welcome the Saudi-brokered Riyadh
Agreement and the de-escalation we have seen in the border area in recent months.
We are concerned about recent heavy clashes in the Nehm region and fully support the
UN Special Envoy’s statement of 22 January calling on the parties to adhere to their
commitments and avoid further escalation.</p>
