The UN Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, met with the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior American officials in Washington DC. They discussed the progress of efforts to advance an agreement between the Yemeni parties on measures to improve living conditions in Yemen, a sustainable nationwide ceasefire, and the resumption of an inclusive intra-Yemeni political process under UN auspices. 

Grundberg stressed that UN mediation to bring Yemenis together to achieve sustainable peace requires concerted regional and international support. He pointed to the need to sustain consensus and unity among members of the Security Council and the broader international community throughout Yemen’s quest for peace, and also recovery and development.
