On behalf of the government's delegation in Geneva, Alyemany denounced the Houthi militia's attempts to thwart peace and indifference to the suffering of the Yemeni people.

On his part, the Swiss official expressed his country's welcome of any consultations and meetings meant to achieve peace in Yemen.
