Diplomatic Adviser to the President of the United Arab Emirates Dr. Anwar Gargash held talks with United Nation Special Envoy to Yemen Hans Grundberg in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, reported the UAE’s state news agency WAM.

The officials discussed the latest developments in the Yemeni crisis and the efforts to establish favorable conditions for a ceasefire and progress toward a sustainable political solution, which will end the crisis and the humanitarian suffering of the Yemeni people.

Gargash underlined the UAE's support for the international efforts and Grundberg’s work to establish a permanent ceasefire and initiate serious dialogue to reach a sustainable political settlement to the Yemeni crisis, lauding the related efforts of Saudi Arabia.

He highlighted the UAE's solidarity with the Yemeni people, its support for all efforts to end the crisis, and its political and humanitarian repercussions.

Gargash expressed his appreciation for the UN's recent announcement regarding the finalized plan to unload the FSO Safer oil tanker off the coast of Yemen’s Hodeidah province.

He hailed the efforts of the UN and its Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, as well as the contributions of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen and donor countries in facilitating the successful unloading of the floating oil storage, averting an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe.

The Emirati Justice Ministry on Friday said that the seven companies based in the United Arab Emirates and sanctioned by the US over Sudan do not own valid business licenses or operate locally.

The US has designated seven entities based in the Emirates under its Sudan sanctions program.

These entities include Capital Tap Holding LLC, Capital Tap Management Consultancies LLC, Capital Tap General Trading LLC, Creative Python LLC, Al Zumoroud and Al Yaqoot Gold & Jewellers LLC, Al Jil Al Qadem General Trading LLC, and Horizon Advanced Solutions General Trading LLC.

“Upon notice of the sanctions designations, the UAE initiated its own investigation into the entities and related individuals, seeking additional information from US authorities to support these investigations,” the Ministry said in a statement

It also confirmed that none of the seven entities hold an active business license in the UAE, nor are they currently operating in the UAE.

Relevant UAE authorities continue to monitor any potential suspicious activity in accordance with applicable UAE laws, the Ministry added.
