During a trip to Saudi Arabia, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan visited Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and went through what the White House described as “significant progress” in Yemen peace efforts.
Sullivan also held joint discussions with the crown prince, UAE national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al Nahyan, and India national security adviser Ajit Doval on a trip on Sunday intended to improve frequently strained ties with Riyadh. The discussions were held “to advance their shared vision of a more secure and prosperous Middle East region interconnected with India and the world,” the White House said.
Following a period in which US-Saudi relations were harmed by Saudi-led OPEC+’s reductions in oil output, Sullivan’s meeting took place.
“He reviewed significant progress in talks to further consolidate the now 15-month-long truce in Yemen and welcomed ongoing UN-led efforts to bring the war to a close, as well as covering a range of other issues,” the White House statement said.
