Sweden talks ‘critical opportunity’ for Yemen peace: UAE
ABU DHABI, Dec 4, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – 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 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.”
