SANAA, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi has decided to withdraw his resignation to continue to serve the country, a president advisor told Xinhua on Sunday.

A presidential advisor, requesting anonymity, told Xinhua that Hadi made his decision to withdraw the resignation based on the international efforts led by United Nations envoy Jamal Bin Omar, as well as representatives of the political parties in the country.

Hadi has six advisors who are among the country's decision-making body, including one from the Shiite Houthi group.

However, a government spokesman told Xinhua that there is no official announcement about Hadi's decision.
