克里會見也門總統哈迪
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held what he described as "constructive" talks Thursday with Yemen's President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, as he visits Saudi Arabia for talks on a proposed
humanitarian pause in the Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen.
Mr. Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia in late March as Houthi fighters advanced from the capital, Sana'a, to the southern coast in an offensive that prompted Saudi warplanes to bomb the rebels.
But aid groups have complained about difficulties in getting food and other needed items to civilians in Yemen.
Kerry said Wednesday that any pause in the air campaign must be carried out in a way that does not allow anyone to try to grab more territory or attack those who have temporarily put down their weapons.
"We have urged all sides, anybody involved, to comply with humanitarian law and to take every precaution to keep civilians out of the line of fire, out of harm's way as well as to provide the opportunity for humanitarian assistance to be able to be delivered," Kerry said.
He was also due to meet Thursday with new Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir and with King Salman.美國國務卿克里星期四與也門總統哈迪舉行了會談，他表示這次會談“具有建設性”。克里目前正在沙特阿拉伯訪問，討論一項有關出於人道主義考慮而暫停沙特領導的也門境內空襲行動的建議。
三月末，胡塞武裝從也門首都薩那向南部海岸地區發動攻勢，哈迪逃到沙特，沙特戰機對胡塞反政府武裝進行空襲。但救援組織抱怨說，向也門境內的平民運送食品和其他必需品已經變得很困難。
克里星期三表示，在暫停空襲期間，任何一方都不得試圖佔領更多地區，也不能對那些暫時放下武器的人發動襲擊。
克里說：“我們已經敦促所有各方遵守人道主義法規，採取一切預防措施，讓平民百姓能夠遠離戰火、不受到戰事的傷害，並且提供機會，讓人道救援得以運送到當地。”
星期四，克里將會晤沙特新任外長阿祖貝爾和薩勒曼國王。
