US to continue to support for formation of gov't in Yemen

WASHINGTON, Nov 1 (KUNA) -- US officials continue to support the efforts of Yemen's political constituencies in implementing the provisions of the September 21 Peace and National Partnership Agreement, including the formation of a government, the State Department said on Friday evening.
The statement was issued in response to reports that speakers at a Houthi-convened conference had announced a deadline for Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to form a government within 10 days.
"All Yemenis, including the Houthis, have an important role to play in working peacefully to form a government that can meet the needs of the Yemeni people and continue to pursue the key steps of its political transition," the statement said. (end) rm.gta
