WASHINGTON, June 29 (KUNA) -- The US Department of State announced Saturday that the US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking is traveling to Saudi Arabia and Oman this week to discuss Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and abduction of diplomats and UN staff in Yemen.
Lenderking's visit aims to continue discussions with partners regarding recent Houthi detentions of UN, diplomatic, and international NGO staff and efforts to secure an immediate end to reckless Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways, the State Department clarified in a press release.
It warned that Houthi detentions and attacks threaten progress toward achieving a durable resolution to the conflict in Yemen and obstruct the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Yemenis and people in need across the region.
It affirmed that the United States strongly supports a lasting, inclusive peace in Yemen for the Yemeni people.
Special Envoy Lenderking plans to meet with counterparts to discuss steps to de-escalate the current situation and support the Yemeni people, the State Department concluded. (end)
