The week-long Yemen peace talks, coordinated by the UN, concluded in Sweden on Thursday, during which constructive progress was made for the upcoming talks.
At a press conference held at Johannesberg Castle north of Stockholm, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres,who joined in on the final day of the Yemen peace talks, said that the Houthi rebel fighters and the government of Yemen have agreed on a partial ceasefire at the port of Hodeidah.
The UN chief voiced hope that this would lead to the opening of humanitarian corridors.
Yemen has been in a civil war since 2017 when the Houthi rebels overtook the capital Sana'a and toppled the government of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. A Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthis since 2017.
The war has killed more than 10,000 people and created the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
The ongoing talks tackle a wide range of substantive issues with the aim of putting Yemen back on the path of peace and alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people.
