EU: successful dialogue `the only way to progress in Yemen`

BRUSSELS, Feb 18 (Saba)
¿ The European Union said on Thursday that a comprehensive and real dialogue that
should
not exclude anyone is the only way to make progress in political, economic and
social reforms in Yemen.
The announcement was made by the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs
Catherine Ashton.
Mrs Ashton expressed regret for deaths in al Mansoura district, Aden, in the
violent protest on Wednesday, as she said:" the EU is watching the situation in
Yemen closely,
urges self-restraint, and stresses peaceful expression of the people's will should
be faced with dialogue and clam".
The EU stance remains firm that there should be a successful dialogue and concrete
reforms in Yemen, as the Union and its partners are ready to continue to support
the country,
she added.
