The United States welcomed on Monday Saudi Arabia’s initiative to end the crisis in Yemen.

It also welcomed the legitimate government's commitment to the ceasefire plan.

A State Department spokeswoman said Washington calls on all parties to “commit seriously” to immediate ceasefire and engage in UN-facilitated talks.

The initiative, which includes a nationwide ceasefire and the reopening of air and sea links, would pave the way for a comprehensive political solution.
