NEW YORK, 27th February, 2018 (WAM) -- The UN Special Envoy of the Secretary-General (SESG) for Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, said those who follow the Yemen file closely will acknowledge that the United Nations has spared no effort to help the Yemeni parties reach a peaceful solution, but "the only part missing is the commitment of parties to make concessions and give priority to the national interest."

"During the course of my interactions with the parties, we have discussed the details of a peace roadmap with a clear timeline," he said, while addressing a Security Council meeting in New York, today.

The international envoy said that over the past three years, and throughout "my continuous meetings with the parties, I believe a solid foundation for an agreement has been laid through the endorsement of the general framework in Biel in 2015 and the discussions that took place in Kuwait in 2016."
