The US State Department has welcomed Saudi Arabia’s invitation to a Houthi-led delegation from Yemen for talks in Riyadh and described it as an ‘important step towards peace’.
Saudi Arabia invited Yemen’s Houthi delegation to Riyadh to continue ceasefire talks. The kingdom wanted to resume its and Oman’s efforts to “reach a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in Yemen and a sustainable political solution acceptable to all Yemeni parties,” Saudi Arabia’s state news agency said on Thursday.
“This important step towards peace expands on a series of engagements between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis,” the US State Department said.
