  2. “Although Yemen still needs further financial support, it is most important to ensure that the pledges already made are realized and to begin to implement programmes and projects impacting the daily lives of the Yemeni people. That would increase their confidence in the political period that lies ahead, particularly as they will judge political changes underway based on the effects on their living conditions. In addition, supporting Yemen economically and rapid reconstruction and development efforts are essential to security and stability. From the outset, the Security Council has been playing an important role in supporting the mediation and the implementation of the initiative.”

Together with the donors conference, we are all working to meet the pledges totalling $8 billion for Yemen, with most of the funds coming from Gulf Cooperation Council countries.”

I would also like to commend the role of the Friends of Yemen and their support for the initiative through their ambassadors in Sana'a. Our cooperation in Yemen has been an outstanding example of regional and international cooperation for the settling of disputes that threaten international peace and security. The sponsors of the initiative need to speak with one voice and coordinate their efforts to support the Yemeni parties in this difficult period. That cooperation reaffirms for the Yemenis the commitment of the international community and its support for their cause. In that regard, let me here commend Mr.”

  7. “Confidence in the Gulf Cooperation Council member States, which had good intentions and close historical, political, social, economic and cultural ties with Yemen, all helped to bring us forward. Mediation by the Gulf Cooperation Council has also played an important role in providing confidence to the people of Yemen and the political forces there. We maintain a certain equidistance in relation to all the parties, and our goal is clear and well defined, namely, to avert a civil war, preserve the security, stability and unity of Yemen and meet the expectations of the people and its aspirations. Here, I would like to commend the President of the Republic of Yemen, Mr. Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi Mansour, and his wise decisions and leadership during the transition period, as well as with respect to the National Dialogue Conference overall.”

  8. “We expect very much from the Security Council, particularly as there are external forces, including the Yemeni side and terrorist groups, that despite admonitions from the Council, are working to impede national dialogue and the political and peaceful processes. Some of those forces seek to undermine Yemen's stability. The role of the Council will be important in terms of supporting the national dialogue throughout in order to reassure the people of Yemen and give it confidence in a prosperous and secure future. The efforts of the Gulf Cooperation Council will not be successful without the initiative seeking to prevent a civil war in Yemen, which was done thanks to the wisdom of the Yemenis themselves. They sought to bring about peace and find a peaceful solution to the crisis.”

The Council's support for the Government and its leaders and the Council's backing ofthe expectations of the Yemeni people to be able to implement the political and economic reforms are key. The Council's mission expressed its support and wish to continue to follow up on the Gulf Cooperation Council's initiatives regarding the implementation mechanisms available to meet the challenges, deal with impediments and support the national dialogue during this critical period for the future of Yemen. In the Gulf Cooperation Council we understand the importance of implementing our initiative.”

  10. “It enjoys international respect, and its mandate under Chapters VI and VII of the United Nations Charter gives it a role in the maintenance of international peace and security, settling disputes, preventing aggression and maintaining its important role on economic and security questions. The Security Council, given its responsibilities, mandate and credibility, is the international body whose role it is to protect the political process under way in Yemen. As a regional organization that is dealing with the Yemeni crisis and wants to ensure the success of the peaceful settlement to help the process move forward successfully, the Gulf Cooperation Council would like to rely on the Security Council and the international legality it represents.”
