Local Editor

Warring parties at peace talks in Sweden agreed on Wednesday to resume oil and gas exports, delegates from the two sides said.

Both sides have received four draft agreements, a U.N. spokeswoman said.

The draft agreements focused on a political framework, the reopening of Sana’a airport, the status of the port city of Hodeida and Yemen's economic situation, the spokeswoman said.

The opposing sides have already agreed to reopen Sana’a international airport for domestic flights.

As a confidence-building step, the two sides have also agreed to a mass prisoner swap, exchanging lists of over 15,000 prisoners and detainees, including citizens of the United Arab Emirates, one of the key members of the Saudi-led coalition.
