The UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon has welcomed announcement of the formation of the new government in Yemen. In a statement read out by the Secretary-General's spokesman, Ban-Ki Moon congratulated President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and Prime Minister-Designate Khaled Bahah for their leadership during the formation of the new government.
The Secretary-General commended the parties for their pledge to accept the slate decided on by the President and Prime Minister, and to extend their unwavering support to the new government.
He said that the announcement is a positive step towards political stability and peace in the country, especially "at this uncertain and fragile time for Yemen."
The Secretary-General reminded the parties of the political commitments they made in signing the Peace and National Partnership Agreement. "Yemen is facing enormous challenges at present, which can only be overcome if all sides work together in the greater national interest to implement the Agreement without delay."
The United Nations looks forward to continuing its engagement with the President, the Prime Minister, the Government and all Yemeni leaders as they seek to build a new democratic Yemen that responds to the legitimate aspirations of its people, Ban-Ki Moon said.
