Qatar and Jordan have welcomed Saudi Arabia’s hosting of an inclusive conference on Yemen’s southern issue, praising the initiative as a constructive step toward fostering dialogue among Yemeni parties and supporting efforts to achieve stability and a comprehensive political settlement in the country.

The Jordanian government welcomed a call from the President of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council to hold a comprehensive conference bringing together all southern factions to discuss just solutions to the southern Cause. It described the move as a positive step toward easing tensions, halting escalation, and advancing dialogue and diplomatic solutions.

The government also welcomed Saudi Arabia's announcement of its readiness to host the conference, as part of its continued support for efforts to achieve security and stability in Yemen.

Spokesperson for the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ambassador Fuad Al-Majali, reiterated Jordan’s firm position calling for de-escalation, the cessation of hostilities, and prioritizing dialogue. He stressed the importance of addressing outstanding issues among the Yemeni people through understanding and consensual political solutions.

Such solutions, he said, should serve the interests of Yemen and its people, ensure the country’s security and stability, contribute to regional stability, and fulfill the aspirations of the Yemeni people.

Qatar has also expressed its appreciation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s hosting of the conference to explore fair solutions to the southern issue, as part of its ongoing support for efforts to achieve security and stability in Yemen.

In a statement issued Saturday, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the efforts of the legitimate Yemeni government to support the dialogue track and address the southern issue, commending the request by the president of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council to convene a conference in Riyadh to engage in dialogue and explore fair solutions, reflecting his commitment to resolving national issues through dialogue.
