Saudi Arabia reaffirms its commitment to promoting dialogue among all parties in Yemen -defence minister

Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its commitment to promoting dialogue among all warring parties in Yemen, the kingdom's defence minister said early on Wednesday, after meeting with Houthi negotiators in Riyadh. "I emphasized the Kingdom's support for Yemen and reaffirmed our commitment to promoting dialogue among all parties to reach a comprehensive political solution under UN supervision," Prince Khalid bin Salman said in a post on messaging platform X. Houthi envoys left Riyadh on Tuesday after a five-day round of talks with Saudi officials on a potential agreement paving the way to an end to the eight-year-old conflict in Yemen, sources familiar with the meeting and Houthi media said.
