WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Biden thanked the sultan for his efforts toward reducing regional tensions and advancing a political settlement in Yemen, the release added.
“Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the enduring bilateral partnership, to include deepening economic engagement, and agreed to continue close cooperation between the United States and the Sultanate of Oman to advance regional peace and stability,” the release on Thursday’s call explained.
Yemen has been engulfed in a violent conflict between the government of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and the Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, which is backed by army units loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
