The UN special envoy to Yemen said Thursday (August 4th) he plans to suspend peace talks between the warring parties at the weekend but that negotiations will resume later, AFP reported.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed has been mediating the talks between the two sides in Kuwait since April 21st, without a major breakthrough.
"We plan to hold the final session on Saturday," he said in an interview on state-run Kuwait TV.
"We are working on issuing a communique that will emphasise on the main points we have achieved."
The talks would resume later, he said, without providing a specific date or the location, but adding that they could return to Kuwait.
Ahmed said he offered delegates a peace plan a few days ago, and thanked the government for its positive response while adding that the Houthis had some reservations.
The envoy, who on Wednesday briefed the UN Security Council about the talks, said all difficult issues were discussed and some achievements were made during the negotiations.
