<p>Peace talks remain the top priority. The UK continues to strongly support the work
of UN Special Envoy, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, and his tireless efforts in working
with all parties to bring about peace in Yemen. We deeply regret the failure of the
parties to reach an agreement in Kuwait and urge them to find the compromises that
will end the current conflict. The secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson)
hosted the Foreign Ministers of the US, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
in London on 19 July to discuss the situation in Yemen, including the deteriorating
humanitarian and economic situation and to encourage commitment from the Yemeni parties
to the political process. I represented the UK at a subsequent meeting in Jeddah on
25 August. It is critical that all parties to the conflict renew their commitment
to the Cessation of Hostilities for the sake of the people of Yemen.</p>
