the parties to continue dialogue towards a durable ceasefire and an inclusive political
settlement under UN auspices. After over seven long years of conflict, a negotiated
political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to
end the humanitarian suffering. The UK continues to use its diplomatic relations and
role as penholder on Yemen in the UN Security Council to support efforts to towards
political dialogue and peace. Minister Cleverly discussed UK support for peace efforts
