The Council of Arab League stressed the necessity of preserving Yemen's unity, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, the statement said.
The conferees reject any interference into the internal affairs of Yemen, and reiterated their support for constitutional legitimacy represented in President Abdrabbuh Hadi Mansour, in line with relevant resolutions by the Arab League and the UN Security Council.
The council proclaimed its support for the Yemeni government's stance abiding by the three references namely the Gulf initiative and its executive mechanism, the outcomes of the comprehensive national dialogue and relevant international resolutions, it added.
The league urged all Yemeni political parties and powers to set aside differences in order to overcome challenges of the current critical period, it noted.
