United Nations Secretary-General called for the implementation "in full, without delay" of the peace and partnership agreement signed by the political parties in Yemen last Sunday.
The signing of the agreement is "a positive step towards political stability and peace in the country," Mr. Ban Ki-moon has said in a statement from his spokesperson.
He commended the Yemenis for their ability to come together and read agreement on a "peaceful path forward" during a period of conflict and uncertainty.
The agreement was signed by representatives of the Yemeni political parties, including Houthis at the presidential palace in Sana'a to end the current crisis. The signing of the agreement was attended by President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, Parliament Speaker, presidential advisors, the Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Yemen.
In his statement, Mr. Ban calls on Yemeni political leaders to rapidly implement the political undertakings contained in the agreement, and to remain committed to the principles of the National Dialogue Conference.
He urged Yemeni political leaders to ensure that the forces over which they exercise control or influence cease all violent acts, and disengage from the conflict.
He also calls for the return of all Government institutions to the control of the legitimate authorities.
He underscored that the UN looked forward to continuing its engagement with President Hadi, as the legitimate, elected president and other political leaders as they seek to build "a new, democratic Yemen that responds to the legitimate aspirations of all its citizens."
