British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft told reporters on Wednesday that the UN-brokered peace talks "will probably happen in Geneva in the middle of the month."
Rycroft added that the U.N. special envoy for Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, has been meeting the fugitive government and leaders from the Ansarullah movement and "preparing assiduously" for the talks.
An attempt in June to bring the Yemeni parties together at a negotiating table failed.
More than 5,700 people have been killed in Yemen since the Saudi-led air campaign began in March.
The United Nations also identified Yemen’s humanitarian crisis as one of the world’s worst, with 80 percent of the country’s population on the brink of famine.
