In the meeting, Ban ki-moon welcomed the appointment of ambassador Bahah, pointing to the attention paid by the UN organization to follow up the developments in Yemen and the steps carried out at the level of the transition process based on the Gulf initiative and its mechanism and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. He considered that the Yemeni model has proved to the world that the peaceful and systematic change through dialogue and compromises is the perfect choice. The UN Secretary-General hailed the efforts of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to work for the success of the peaceful settlement, topped by the success of the National Dialogue Conference (NDC). He called on all political parties to cooperate with President Hadi to ensure the implementation of the NDC outcomes and building the new Yemen. Ban Ki-moon condemned in the strongest phrases the terrorist acts taking place in Yemen, recalling the recent resolution 2140 of the Security Council that introduced targeted sanctions measures against individuals or entities engaging in obstructing the transition process, either directly or indirectly. In the meeting, Bahah briefed Ban Ki-moon on the developments at the Yemeni arena and the steps made at the level of the transition process. The ambassador touched on the challenges which are still facing the political process in Yemen for the time being, topped by the terrorism and the sabotage acts that target the economy and the public tranquility. The ambassador Bahah met earlier with the permanent representative of the Republic of Lithuania to the UB Ambassador Raimonda Murmokaitė as head of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to the resolution No. 2140 and concerned with studying measures to freeze the funds and travel ban against parties that threaten the security, safety and stability of Yemen and impeding the path of the political settlement. In the meeting, they discussed the mechanism of action of the committee and primary results of the field visit of the Committee's Panel of Experts (PoE) to Sana'a. On another hand, Bahah met in New York with the Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Yemen Jamal Benomar and discussed with him the developments of the current situation at the Yemeni scene and the efforts to implement the NDC's outcomes.
