Only a political solution can bring long-term stability to Yemen and there is no military solution to the conflict. The Yemeni parties must engage constructively and in good faith to overcome obstacles and find a political solution to end the conflict. During the visit of the Saudi Crown Prince to the UK earlier this month, the UK and Saudi Arabia agreed on the importance of reaching a political solution to the crisis in Yemen and resolved to work closely together and with partners, including the newly appointed UN Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths, to achieve this.</p><p>The UK is playing a leading role in diplomatic efforts, including bringing together key international actors to try to find a peaceful solution. We proposed the Presidential Statement passed at the UN Security Council on 15 March which called for a return to UN-led peace talks. We are now working urgently with our international and regional partners to ensure that the Security Council's words are converted into action. We call on all parties to respect these unified and clear demands from the international community.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/03/2018 13:20:30 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
