Malaysia welcomes the latest announcement by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on behalf of the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition to restore legitimacy in Yemen, on a unilateral ceasefire for a period of two weeks, commencing on 9 April 2020.

 

The decision signifies the Coalition's readiness to support the call by the United Nations, and it is a positive step forward towards a permanent ceasefire. Malaysia urges all parties in Yemen to respect the ceasefire and refrain from taking actions that may undermine it.
