The UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, concluded a visit to Muscat where he met with senior Omani officials, members of Ansar Allah leadership and representatives of the diplomatic community, including senior Iranian officials. 
                                                                                                                                                            
Discussions focused on the cessation of hostilities between the United States and Ansar Allah and the need to translate this into sustainable progress that benefits all Yemenis and includes guarantees for the region and international community. 
 
Grundberg further addressed regional dynamics and the shared responsibility of all actors to support de-escalation and a UN-led political process for a durable and comprehensive resolution to the conflict in Yemen. 
 
In all his engagements, the Special Envoy called for the immediate and unconditional release of UN, NGO, civil society and diplomatic mission personnel arbitrarily detained by Ansar Allah. He stressed that their prolonged detention is not only unjustifiable but undermines the UN’s and international community’s ability to provide humanitarian support to millions of Yemenis.
