Saudi Arabia Praises 'Positive Results' after Yemen's Peace Talks

Saudi Arabia on Wednesday praised the “positive results” of negotiations with Yemen's Houthis after they visited the kingdom for peace talks.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry in a statement early Wednesday “welcomed the positive results of the serious discussions regarding reaching a road map to support the peace path in Yemen.”

“The kingdom continues to stand with Yemen and its brotherly people and ... encourages the Yemeni parties to sit at the negotiating table to reach a comprehensive and lasting political solution in Yemen under the supervision of the United Nations," the statement read.

Also, a joint statement issued by the United States and the foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council, commended “Saudi Arabia’s sustained efforts to encourage Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue.”

“The ministers also emphasized their support for an inclusive, Yemeni-Yemeni political process under UN auspices that durably resolves the conflict,” that statement read.
