Mr. President,

I am grateful for this opportunity to brief the Security Council on the latest developments in the pursuit for peace in Yemen.

Kuwait - It has been a long week of sessions, in which we discussed a wide range of issues. Some sessions were promising and others tense. In spite of all of the challenges we are facing, the United Nations remains deeply committed to finding a peaceful solution.

On this day, the 8th of March, the world celebrates every year the International Women’s Day. Women have been struggling for years in the past and they have always been present at the core of national, political and social causes.
