<p>The UK continues to support the efforts of the UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths
to secure the parties' agreement to proposals for a nationwide ceasefire and resumption
of the UN-led political process. We engage regularly with international partners on
Yemen, including through our role as penholder in the UN Security Council. On 1 July,
the Foreign Secretary wrote a joint op-ed with his Swedish and German counterparts
calling for the international community to back peace efforts. On 18 June, the Minister
for the Middle East and North Africa spoke with senior Yemeni leaders and the Special
Envoy during a "virtual visit" and called for urgent action to secure peace
and avoid a humanitarian catastrophe.</p>
