Dhaka, April 6 : Bangladesh welcomes the UN brokered two-month long ceasefire between the parties of the Yemen conflict which came into effect from 2 April at the advent of Holy month of Ramadan. It also appreciates the efforts of the Joint Forces Command of the Arab coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen.
