HE the Foreign Minister Dr Khalid bin Mohamed al-Attiyah has called upon all parties in Yemen to reject sectarianism and put the interests of the Yemeni people above all considerations.

Addressing the joint meeting of Foreign Ministers of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) states and Yemen at the Sheraton Doha Hotel here yesterday, Dr Khalid bin Mohamed al-Attiyah underlined the GCC states’ keenness on the security and stability of Yemen and their concern at the unfortunate and extremely serious events there which might return Yemen to the cycle of violence and chaos.

He said: “We renew our appeal to the brethren in Yemen to continue the dialogue and complete the political process in order to promote security, stability and unity of the Yemeni people.”

Dr al-Attiyah welcomed the formation of the new Yemeni government which he said was a positive and important step towards achieving the aspirations of the people of Yemen and security and stability, progress and prosperity of the country. 

Meanwhile, Yemeni Foreign Minister Dr Abdullah al-Saaidi lauded the GCC states’ support for Yemen’s unity, independence and stability.

Addressing the session, he stressed that the ministerial meeting is very important especially as it takes place under difficult circumstances in the region in general and Yemen in particular, expressing his regret over the exaggerated media reporting about events in Yemen.

He said that Yemen is now well under way towards an important national dialogue with the participation of all political parties in order to build a federal state and maintain security and stability of the country.

He pointed out that the events taking place in Yemen are the result of attempts to drag the country into war by parties with an interest in fuelling conflict and instability.

He praised the partnership and peace agreement to restore security, peace and stability of the country.
