Four days are left before intra-Yemeni talks kickstart under the auspices of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in Riyadh. The final touches are being put to the talks’ framework and the three stages that the six axes announced by the GCC Secretary-General in his last statement will go through.
Ismini Palla, Chief of Communications in the Office of the UN Envoy for Yemen, expressed the UN’s hope that the upcoming GCC-sponsored Yemeni consultations in Riyadh would provide “a platform for constructive political dialogue that ultimately supports the efforts of the UN to reach a comprehensive negotiated political settlement for conflict.”
