In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of Yemen to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. Members of the Council have before them document S/2019/46, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I wish to draw the attention of the members of the Council to document S/2019/28, which contains the text of a letter dated 31 December 2018 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council. The Government of Yemen has expressed its full determination and commitment to supporting and implementing the Stockholm Agreement without any detraction. We call upon the Security Council and the international community to monitor the violations that Houthi militias continue to commit in an attempt to create obstacles to what was agreed upon in Sweden. The Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.

The draft resolution received 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 2452 (2019). I now give the floor to the representative of Yemen.

At the outset, I would like to thank you, Mr. President, as well as Secretary-General António Guterres and his Special In conclusion, we look forward to the United Nations mission to support the implementation of the Al-Hudaydah agreement, in line with its mandate as set forth in the Council resolution adopted today, in order to guarantee the implementation of the agreement according to the established timetable.
