TOKYO-SABA
Yemen's ambassador to Tokyo Sameer Mohammed Khameas met Tuesday with Chairman of Foreign Relations and Defense Committee in the Japanese Council of Advisers Miaki Shinqo .

Yemeni-Japanese bilateral ties and cooperation were key focus of Khamea's conversation with Shino.

Khameas touched upon the political and military situations in our country. He pointed out to the underway efforts by the UN envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths and his suggestions about the Houthi militia's withdrawal from Hodeidah city and seaport.

The Ambassador explained how the militia has taken the advantage of its control over Hodeidah's seaport to smuggle Iranian weapons, threaten International marine navigation and devote the harbor's revenues to finance its warfare against the Yemeni people.

The Japanese official affirmed his country's support to the Yemeni Government's positions about making peace in accordance with the three terms of reference.
