The envoy stressed that the United Nations had guarantees that parties to the conflict would return to the negotiating table. He added that the participants had achieved bigger progress at the current talks than during the previous rounds.
According to the envoy, the talks will renew in a month.
Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the government headed by President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and Houthi rebels, the country’s main opposition force, which have been supported by army units loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, since 2014.
