Aden, Newsyemen, Amjad Qureshi:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia called on the parties to the Riyadh Agreement to work to implement it and to prevail over the higher interests and avoid escalation and resolving disputes, hours after the Southern Transitional Council requested an official clarification from the coalition leadership on preventing its leaders from returning to Aden through Amman airport, but the statement did not refer to the issue of prevention.
In a statement published by the official SPA agency late on Wednesday evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the keenness of the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the security and stability of Yemen ... and its endeavor to implement the (Riyadh Agreement) to achieve its goals and objectives, which comes at the top of its priorities to ensure decent living in safety and stability for the Yemeni people , and combating terrorism in all its forms. "
"From this, the Kingdom is working on establishing various development projects and ending projects under construction in all governorates," the statement added.
It continued, "The Kingdom invites the parties to the Riyadh agreement to work with it to implement the agreement, providing the higher interests with a sense of the usual national responsibility for them, without escalation, which misses opportunities to be gained by the interests of the Yemenis, and to work together to resolve the differences and challenges facing the implementation of the agreement, away from the media skills that do not serve the interest and increase the gap between the people, and do not create the appropriate atmosphere to proceed with its implementation. "
