TDT | Manama

Bahrain welcomed yesterday the announcement of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, which called for the reinstatement of Aden’s previous state.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry urged an end to any steps contrary to the Riyadh Agreement, calling for the deal to be implemented quickly, being the agreed framework for uniting ranks, restoring state institutions, and achieving security and stability in Yemen.

It urged all concerned parties to respond to the Coalition’s call and commit to the agreement so as to preserve the interests of the Yemeni people, as well as maintain the unity of Yemen and its stability and territorial integrity.

In a statement, the ministry stressed the importance of harnessing all efforts to restore the state of Yemen, fight terrorist organizations and achieve peace in the country. This is on the basis of the GCC Initiative and its mechanisms, the outcome of comprehensive National Dialogue, and the Security Council Resolution 2216.
