US President Joe Biden welcomed the extension of a UN-brokered truce between Yemen's warring parties, according to a statement released by the White House.

“The last two months in Yemen, thanks to the truce brokered in April, have been among the most peaceful periods since this terrible war began seven years ago”, Mr Biden said.

Mr Biden thanked his Special Envoy Tim Lenderking, and the UN’s Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg for their work.

The US president urged all parties to move towards “comprehensive and inclusive peace process”.

“Saudi Arabia demonstrated courageous leadership by taking initiatives early on to endorse and implement terms of the UN-led truce”, he indicated.

Biden also credited Jordan, Egypt and Oman for their part in the truce by saying, “Oman played a central role in hosting and facilitating dialogue. Egypt and Jordan opened their airports to flights from Yemen over the past month thereby enabling a key component of the truce process”.
