Bamedhaf added: “Through this meeting, we need a real opinion on the reality of the Riyadh Agreement’s path and ambitions,” stressing that everyone should push for the implementation of this agreement to confront the state of stumbling it is suffering from, noting the role of the Transitional Council and what it has done to overcome this stumbling and to conduct the political process, calling on the participants to develop ideas to shed light on the Riyadh Agreement and what is needed for it.
