Ban Ki-moon also urged all parties to cease hostilities immediately, calling all political powers to implement the outcomes of the national dialogue conference and build a new Yemen.

Ban made the statement during his meeting with Yemen's representative to the UN Khalid al-Yamani, who delivered his credentials to the UN Secretary General.

Although, Ban expressed his deep concerns over the deteriorating situation in Yemen, he hailed the efforts made by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah to carry out the remaining tasks of the peaceful political settlement in Yemen.

He urged all parties to contact with his Special Adviser on Yemen Jamal Benomar to be able to continue his good offices in close cooperation with the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council and UN Security Council to ensure the success of the political transition in Yemen.
