UN Special Envoy for Yemen Concludes Visit to London 

The Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, concluded a visit to London Yesterday, where he engaged in a series of meetings with Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, the Minister of State for the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and the United Nations, as well as other senior officials from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Discussions included the latest developments in Yemen and United Nation's efforts to facilitate an agreement on measures to improve living conditions in Yemen, a nationwide ceasefire, and an inclusive intra-Yemeni political process under UN auspices. 

Grundberg stressed the pressing need for a political solution to the Yemeni crisis, emphasizing the importance of the international community and Security Council member states working together in a concerted effort to bring Yemenis closer to the just peace they aspire to achieve. 
 
In London, the Special Envoy also attended a roundtable discussion organized by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Yemen, which brought together UK Members of Parliament dedicated to Yemen-related issues. The discussions encompassed the evolving situation in Yemen, and developmental aspects crucial for Yemen's recovery and the creation of conditions conducive to a sustainable peace process.
