The ministry also reiterated Jordan’s support for Yemen’s legitimate government and stressed the need to resolve the Yemeni crisis on the basis of principles that restore security and stability, safeguard Yemen’s unity and sovereignty, and fulfill the aspirations of the Yemeni people, in line with established references.

Jordan further affirmed its backing for Saudi Arabia’s efforts to achieve a comprehensive and lasting political settlement in Yemen, and its leadership of the coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen.
