We welcome the consultations which began in Stockholm on 6 December, and which the Foreign Secretary attended on 13 December. The Yemeni Government and the Houthis agreed on a ceasefire and redeployments of forces in Hodeidah Governorate, an exchange of prisoners, and an understanding on easing the situation in Ta'iz. They also agreed to engage in further discussions on a Framework establishing the principles for inclusive negotiations aimed at ending the conflict in Yemen - the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today.
