Riyadh, (IINA) - Saudi Arabia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir asserted on Tuesday that Houthi rebels and their allies in Yemen are the only ones who can end the seven-month-old war there, Saudi Gazette reported.
He was speaking at a joint press conference in Riyadh with his French counterpart Laurent Fabius: “I believe that the matter to end hostilities lies entirely with the Houthis and with ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh. They are the ones who started this, and they are the ones who continue this”.
Al-Jubeir added that the coalition has achieved success in reversing the gains by Houthi-Saleh forces in Yemen, and now is the time for a political process to begin based on UN Resolution 2216.
On his part, Fabius said that France supported efforts towards a political solution but it needed all parties to agree on attending the talks.
Al-Jubeir emphasized that Saudi Arabia and France are identical in their views in almost all issues of mutual concern.
