Saudi Arabia: Yemen rejected our request to meet in Oman

An official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia claimed that the Yemeni government has rejected Riyadh's request to hold a meeting in Oman in recent weeks.

According to Ambassador Arjan, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia announced that the Yemeni government has rejected Riyadh's request to hold a meeting in Oman in recent weeks.

Without providing more details about the nature of the Saudi request or the reasons for Yemen's opposition, this Saudi official claimed that this development shows the continuation of obstacles in the way of advancing Yemen's political process.

According to this Saudi official, in recent weeks, Riyadh had requested to hold a meeting with Ansarullah in Oman, but this movement did not accept the said request.

Oman has previously hosted mediation efforts and contacts related to the Yemen crisis. However, the Saudi official did not specify whether Saudi Arabia had proposed a specific date for the meeting or whether other calls were made to set a new time after the request was rejected.
