(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency)
Concerning the measures applied to the State of Qatar, The deputy head of the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom to the United Nations said, "We would like to emphasize the Special Rapporteur's acknowledgment that these measures do not constitute a blockade because they do not affect Qatar's reciprocal transactions with third parties. The measures taken in this crisis are within the relevant rules of international law. It is a sovereign right of my country to take whatever it deems appropriate for the sake of its national security. We urge Qatar to cooperate in eliminating the scourge of extremism and terrorism rather than harboring and funding it, and implementing the commitments it has signed in the Riyadh Accords 2013-2014 and stop interference in the affairs of other countries and destabilize neighboring countries. Qatar's attempts to internationalize this crisis will not contribute to solutions, but may complicate them further. Qatar must realize that these policies are unacceptable, and we hope that wisdom will prevail in Qatar and respond to the demands of the international community."
The deputy head of the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom to the United Nations said, "As for Yemen, I would like to emphasize the support for the approach of the solution provided by the UN envoy to the crisis in Yemen on the port of Hodeidah, which establishes two committees; the first administrative and financial and the second technical, that take control of the port and obtain the revenues of the operations it is witnessing and transfer it to the account of the Yemeni government, ensure that the port is not used by the Huthi militias to smuggle weapons, and lift the siege imposed by these militias. "
