Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom hailed as
positive Yemen's peace talks that took place here between representatives of
the internationally-recognized Yemeni government and the Iranian-backed Houthi
rebels.
"The outcome of Yemen’s peace consultations
will be conveyed to the UN Security Council on Friday," Wallstrom said.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres
arrived at Sweden on Wednesday in a bid to give an impetus to the two Yemeni
warring parties to go ahead with the UN-backed talks to put an end to the
ongoing civil war that has left millions of Yemeni people at risk of
starvation.
