The UK continues to fully support UN Special Envoy Martin Griffith's efforts to secure a political settlement to the conflict in Yemen. We regularly engage with Saudi Arabia, the UAE and all our partners across the Gulf regarding the situation in Yemen and in support of UN peace efforts. Most recently I spoke with Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister al-Jubeir and Emirati Deputy Foreign Minister Gargash on 13 January to discuss the latest developments.
