<p>The UK welcomes the UN-brokered two-month truce in Yemen, which began on 2 April,
and the creation of a Presidential Leadership Council in Yemen on 6 April. After seven
long years of conflict, a negotiated political settlement is the only way to bring
long-term stability to Yemen and end the humanitarian suffering. The UK will continue
to use its diplomatic relations and role as penholder on Yemen in the UN Security
Council to support efforts towards political dialogue and peace, including through
coordinated statements, regular briefings of the UN Special Envoy and through the
targeted use of sanctions. The UK continues to encourage the conflict parties to engage
constructively with UN-led peace efforts.</p>
