US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Yemeni Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council Rashad Al Alimi on Monday in New York and discussed the need to extend a UN-mediated truce by October 2, the State Department said.
A UN-mediated truce between the coalition and the Ansar Allah has largely held since April. The United Nations is making efforts to extend and expand the truce deal between the coalition and the Ansar Allah that expires in early October. The State Department said the truce has brought "much needed calm and hope while improving the lives of millions of Yemenis across the country." -- AFP
