Khartoum (Sudan), June 14: Sudan on Monday welcomed the Yemeni warring parties' agreement to extend the truce for another two months.
"Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg's announcement that all Yemeni parties have agreed to extend the truce for another two months," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry praised the special envoy's efforts in preserving and extending the UN-brokered cease-fire.
The ministry also stressed the need of making the truce permanent and creating conditions for a political process to achieve a comprehensive peace that brings security and stability to all parts of Yemen.
Yemen's warring parties entered a two-month cease-fire on April 2, which includes allowing commercial flights to and from Houthi-held capital Sanaa and the entry of fuel ships into the Houthi-held port of Hodeidah, and lifting the siege of the government-held Taiz city.
Early this month, the Yemeni government and the Houthi group agreed to extend the cease-fire hours before its expiry.
