The UK continues to support the UN Special Envoy and coordinate closely with international and regional partners, including through Ministerial engagement. Minister Cleverly hosted a Quint meeting in January.

In February the UK led negotiations on UNSCR 2624 imposing the arms embargo on the Houthi movement.

We continue to urge all parties to engage constructively in UN-led negotiations to end the conflict and alleviate the humanitarian crisis.
