He said the Yemeni people will accept nothing less than "a real peace" that restores the state in compliance with the terms of reference for peace.

He highly appreciated the American clear support to the government including the financial and technical support to the government to secure the country's air, land and sea ports of entry. He said it is necessary that the whole international community works pressure on Iran to stop its interferences in Yemen and the whole region.

He renewed the government's commitments to keep the country's ports of entry at the disposal of incoming humanitarian aid shipments and to ensure the access of the citizens to this aid.
