 Yemen's government has welcomed a proposal from the UN Security Council calling for all-around dialogue to resolve the country's political crisis.

The UN Security Council earlier expressed grave concern on the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in Yemen. It urged all parties to show restraint and engage in an inclusive political dialogue.

For its part, the Yemeni government said it is ready to engage in talks with opposition parties. It added that the proposed dialogue would be based on an earlier reconciliation initiative brokered by the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
