New York (IINA) – UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday urged all parties to the peace process in Yemen to “engage in good faith” with his envoy, so that talks can start without further delay.
“The Secretary General is convinced that seizing this opportunity to move the process forward will help resolve outstanding issues and bring the end of this prolonged conflict closer. The Yemeni people and the region deserve no less,” said a statement attributed to Ban’s spokesperson.
The Secretary General noted that the Yemeni government delegation has arrived in Kuwait and looks forward to the participation of the Ansar Allah and representatives of the General People’s Congress in the talks, the statement said.
He also recalled the commitment of all parties to a cessation of hostilities, which took effect on April 10, and to the convening of inter-Yemeni talks in Kuwait.
UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed announced that the start of the peace negotiations set to begin Monday in Kuwait, had been postponed.
