<p>The UK has played a central role in diplomatic efforts to seek a peaceful solution
to the conflict in Yemen. Most recently, the Foreign Secretary hosted the Yemen Quad
in London on 26 April, bringing together representatives from the US, Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where members discussed the next steps in the
UN-led peace process and how best to support the efforts of UN Special Envoy Martin
Griffiths. We will continue discussions with partners on how the UN Security Council
can support the UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths on the political process and improving
the humanitarian situation, central to which is the full implementation of agreements
reached during the Stockholm talks. We welcome reports that Houthis forces have begun
their withdrawal from the ports of Hodeidah, Saleef and Ras Issa and await independent
verification of this by the UN.</p><p></p>
