Sweden talks ‘critical opportunity’ for Yemen peace: UAE
Proposed UN-led talks in Sweden mark a “critical opportunity” to bring peace to war-torn Yemen after four years of conflict, a top Emirati official said Tuesday. “Evacuating wounded Houthi fighters from Sanaa once again demonstrates the Yemeni government & the Arab coalition’s support for peace,” the UAE’s state minister for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, said in a tweet. No date has yet been set for the talks, which are due to be held in Sweden, but hopes have been building that they could go ahead this week. “We believe Sweden offers a critical opportunity to successfully engage in a political solution for Yemen,” Gargash said in his tweet. The oil-rich Gulf emirate, which has been a mediator in the devastating conflict, hosted Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom for talks in Kuwait City on Monday.
