<p>The UK is playing a leading role in diplomatic efforts, including by bringing together
key international actors, to find a peaceful solution. The Foreign Secretary most
recently discussed the urgent need for a political solution with the Saudi Foreign
Minister,the Deputy Emirati Foreign Minister, and the US Assistant Secretary of State
on 26 April. The UK strongly supports, including through financial assistance, the
work of Martin Griffiths as the UN Special Envoy for Yemen. We are using our role
as penholder at the UN Security Council to focus international attention on the need
for progress. We secured the agreement of a Presidential Statement on 15 March which
called for an inclusive political solution, and for all parties to the conflict to
abandon pre-conditions and engage in good faith with the UN-led process. The UK has
committed £170 million towards the humanitarian crisis for 2018-19, making us the
fourth largest donor to the UN appeal.</p>
