UN source: No suspension to Yemeni talks in Kuwait

A source close to the UN Special Envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed has denied reports about alleged suspension of Kuwait-hosted, UN-mediated Yemeni peace talks, KUNA reported on Saturday.

The Yemeni peace consultations are proceeding, the source said, denying media reports about a decision to suspend the talks.

"It is normal that consultation sessions could undergo some difficulties, but they are proceeding," he clarified.

The statement came in response to reports that the UN Envoy has decided to suspend the Intra-Yemeni talks over differences among negotiators over the issues on the agenda.

Earlier, Yemeni negotiators held a second session of peace talks for the seventh day in row in a bid to find a solution to the Yemeni crisis.
