In a meeting with the UN Special Envoy Hans Grandberg in Aden today, Abdulmalik said the party obstructing peace needs to be identified without any maneuver.

He renewed the government's persistent cooperation with regional and international to political solution brokerage efforts in order to end the suffering of the Yemeni people.

The prime minister said, "Yemenis always compare the international attitudes in Hodeidah with the attitudes in Marib: In Hodeidah the [international] efforts were united and pressures [against the government] were big, but in Marib we are only seeing individual statements" condemning the Houthi military push. "This makes them (the Yemenis) lose trust in the peace brokerage track," he said.
