Uzbekistan welcomes the announcement of a two-month truce and ceasefire in Yemen mediated by the UN, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
“We believe that the temporary ceasefire, as well as a determination to firmly uphold the rule of law in this country, will help find compromises in the name of establishing comprehensive peace and stability in Yemen,” the statement said.
“We call on all warring parties to show restraint and political will to resolve the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
For more than seven years, armed confrontation has continued in Yemen between the pro-government coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebel militias, according to UN materials.
The agreement on a two-month truce in Yemen was signed on April 1. The parties agreed to stop all offensive air, land and sea operations inside Yemen and near its borders.
They also agreed that fuel ships would call at the port of Hodeidah and commercial flights would operate at Sana'a airport.
The truce may be extended after a period of two months with the consent of the parties.
