<p>The UK welcomes the two-month truce in Yemen, brokered by the UN on 1 April and
the creation of a Presidential Leadership Council on 6 April. After over seven long
years of conflict, a negotiated political settlement is the only way to bring long-term
stability to Yemen and end the humanitarian suffering. The UK will continue to use
its diplomatic relations and role as penholder on Yemen in the UN Security Council
to support efforts towards political dialogue and peace. The UK continues to encourage
the conflict parties to engage constructively with UN-led peace efforts. As part of
the truce agreement, there has been an increase in the number of fuel ships entering
Yemeni ports, bringing much needed relief to the Yemeni population.</p>
