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.

Grundberg briefed his host on the latest developments in Yemen with international, regional, and local parties.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman praised on Wednesday US President Donald Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Syria.

“We commend the decision made yesterday by President Trump to lift the sanctions on the brotherly Syrian Arab Republic, which will alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people,” he said in his opening speech at the GCC-US summit in Riyadh.

The Crown Prince also said that Gulf states were seeking to work with the US to de-escalate tensions in the region.

“We are aware of the magnitude of the challenges facing our region and we strive with you and with our GCC brothers to deescalate tensions in the region and to stop the war in Gaza and to find a permanent and comprehensive solution for the Palestinian crisis,” he said, addressing Trump.

“We stress our support to ending conflicts through peaceful means,” he added.
