RIYADH: Saudi ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Al Jaber and his US counterpart Steven Fagin held a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the storage vessel FSO Safer, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The pair stressed the importance of maintaining the decrepit tanker as soon as possible, which is a environmental risk to the ocean.

The pair also discussed support to Yemen’s leadership council as well as efforts to make the UN-sponsored truce a success, with the aim of reaching a permanent ceasefire.
