answer text <p>We engage regularly with our US partners on a range of issues related to Yemen, including the humanitarian situation. We work closely with them in support of a stable, secure Yemen which poses no threat to regional countries or beyond. The US, together with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, participated in a Ministerial meeting we convened on 22 September in the margins of the UN General Assembly. All participants acknowledged the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen and agreed that more must be done to achieve a political solution. The Foreign Secretary raised the situation in Yemen with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson most recently on 9 October. Any further enquiries relating to US policy should be redirected to the US authorities.</p> more like this
