Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ahmad Bin Mubarak discussed Tuesday with US Envoy to Yemen Tim Linder King continuous efforts for realizing peace in Yemen on the light of Saudi Initiative and efforts of the UN envoy to Yemen for reaching an inclusive peace on the bases of the three references.

Bin Mubarak pointed out to Houthi militia’s continuous crimes and violations in Marib and shelling displaced people camps and populated neighborhoods amid international efforts for stopping the war and alleviating humanitarian crisis.
