He pointed to the six wars that the militia fought against the state, the militia's expansions in the rest of the country and its overthrow of the Yemeni state in 2014, which led to the outbreak of the current war against it and the intervention of the Arab Coalition in which Saudi Arabia and the UAE play central roles in supporting the internationally recognized government.

Ambassador Khamis affirmed the government's support for a sustainable peace based on the main terms of references; the Gulf Initiative, the outcomes of the national dialogue and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution no. 2216.

He reiterated the commitment of the government to support the efforts of UN envoy Martin Griffiths to remove the Houthi militia from city and port of Hodeidah peacefully.
