United Nations envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths concluded on Thursday his tour to the region by meeting Houthi leaders in Oman’s capital Muscat in the hope of saving his mission in Yemen.
Griffiths had kicked off the tour by holding talks in Riyadh with Vice President of the resigned Hadi regime Ali Mohsen last month.
Last Monday, Griffiths met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his deputy Sergei Vershinin in Moscow before heading to Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
The envoy’s tour is aimed at salvaging the peace efforts in Yemen.
On Thursday, Griffiths met with several Houthi leaders including foreign minister Mohamed Abdel Salam Fleeta in the Omani capital.
Fleeta confirmed willingness to continue working on issues agreed upon in Sweden last December, including the truce in Taiz and the release of all prisoners and detainees.
Saba state agency also said that the two sides discussed the political, humanitarian and economic situation in the war-torn country.
