PM Khan assures Yemen ambassador of support in ending conflict
Prime Minister Imran Khan in a meeting with Ambassador of Yemen Mohammed Motahar Alashabi in Islamabad on Wednesday assured the envoy of Pakistan's "unwavering support in the early resolution of the conflict" in Yemen.
Ambassador Alashabi called on PM Khan at PM Office, where he congratulated the premier on his election and conveyed his leadership's best wishes for the success of the newly elected government.
According to a PM Office press release, the prime minister reciprocated the sentiments of the Yemeni leadership and wished for an early end of hostilities for lasting peace in Yemen.
Ambassador Alashabi briefed the prime minister on the latest situation in Yemen. In turn, PM Khan assured the visiting dignitary of unwavering support from Pakistan for an early resolution of the conflict, in light of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2216.
PM Khan also said that Pakistan will continue to support the restoration of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's government, and would play its role to bring all parties together for a political settlement.
While emphasising the need for dialogue, the prime minister said that the conflict in Yemen affects regional peace and stability and that it does not have a military solution.
He also called for more concerted and coordinated efforts at a global level to alleviate the sufferings of the Yemeni people and to ensure their safe return to their homes.

Prime Minister Imran Khan can play a mediator's role in this conflict.
It is a valid but cheeky comment. Maybe both Saudi and Yemen want a solution and need a mediator acceptable to both. The ambassador will know better than Sherry on this for his country.
No visible help beyond lip-service.
Parliment onboard were significant, the undermining concensus would be grave concequensis!
Yemen ambassador woke up finally to congratulate the PM , or the visit is linked to PMs visit to Saudi Arabia and maybe some assurance from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia countering Iran’s influence in the region.
IK said support, how is the dIsgraced PPP interpreting it as mediation？
The opposition has become a total joke, instead of holding PTI government to account instead it looks like they are attacking the state of Pakistan. They got a problem if government takes loans and if it doesn’t take loans.
I think our government's focus needs to be Pakistan for now, Pakistan is in no position to interfere in International issues, even if it involves Muslim countries. We have our own battles to fight. Mr PM needs to steer away from these issues that could result in Pakistan having to take sides, bad position to be in.
Sherry Rehman keep coming up with absurd and meaningless arguments every now and then. Why?
S.Rahman, what your govt. do to end the Yemeni conflict? Easy to criticize.
Sherry Rehman, this is the difference between you and IK. He will do something you can not think, right now. Be patient and learn, how he does it.
This genocide should stop. Innocent civilians are dying.
We request the Prime-minister to expedite the initiate the resolution of Yemen crises urgently to bring some respoite to the suffering Yemenese. The conditions are extremely pathetic and people are suffering starvation.
