ADEN, Mar 10 (NNN-YPA) – UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, continued yesterday, his consultations with Yemeni political parties, in a bid to resume peace talks.
The envoy’s office said in a statement that, he held bilateral meetings in Jordan’s capital, Amman, with representatives of Yemeni parties, aiming to create a framework for a comprehensive solution to end the protracted civil war.
The envoy met with leaders of the General People’s Congress Party, as well as, delegations of the Islah Party, the Yemeni Socialist Party, and the Nasserist Unionist People’s Organisation.
Over 100 Yemeni men and women from political parties, the security and economic sectors, and civil society will be consulted over the next few weeks, in Jordan and in Yemen.
The envoy will continue engaging with the government of Yemen and the Houthi group, as well as, with regional and international stakeholders.
“This is a dire time for Yemen. The conflict, which is soon entering its eighth year, continues to exacerbate the suffering of civilians, threaten regional stability, and undermine the prospects of a peaceful solution,” Grundberg said.
He added, there is an urgent need to establish an inclusive political process that reverses this destructive trajectory and provides opportunities and space for dialogue at multiple levels.
