The ministerial council welcomed the Saudi initiative to end the Yemeni crisis and reach a comprehensive political solution in accordance with the three terms of reference for peace in Yemen: The GCC initiative, the outcome of the National Dialogue Conference, and the UN Security Council resolution 2216.

In this regard, the council called on the Houthi militia to respond to this initiative, and praised the Omani mediation efforts in this regard.
