Kuwait: UN Special Envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed affirmed that the Kuwait-hosted, UN-mediated Yemeni peace talks will continue to be held on Sunday.
In a press statement released late Saturday, the envoy stressed the importance of these talks to share different points of view and resolve issues to end the war in Yemen.
Meanwhile, he called on all clashing parties to take into consideration the suffering of Yemeni citizens who are affected by the current conflict.
Yesterday, a source close to Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed had denied reports about alleged suspension of the peace talks. "It is normal that consultations
sessions could undergo some difficulties, but they are proceeding," he added.
The Yemeni peace consultations are proceeding, the source told (KUNA) news agency, denying media reports about a decision to suspend the talks.
The statement came in response reports that the UN Envoy has decided to suspend the Intra-Yemeni talks over differences among negotiators over the issues on the agenda.
Last week, the UN envoy for Yemen received two documents bearing on visions for security and political issues, militia withdrawal, weapons and prisoners.
