Sweden talks are ‘critical opportunity’ for peace in Yemen: UAE official

Proposed UN-led talks in Sweden present a "critical opportunity" to bring peace to war-torn Yemen, a top official from the United Arab Emirates which is part of the pro-government coalition, said on Tuesday.

“Evacuating wounded Huthi fighters from Sanaa once again demonstrates the Yemeni government & the Arab coalition's support for peace,” said the UAE's state minister for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, in a tweet, after 50 wounded rebels were sent Monday to neutral Oman to be treated.

“We believe Sweden offers a critical opportunity to successfully engage in a political solution for Yemen.”
