Our goal is to reach a comprehensive and sustainable political solution in Yemen that is accepted by all Yemeni parties."
This reaction of Riyadh comes after Muhammad Abd al-Salam, the spokesman of Yemen's Ansarullah Movement, stated: "We concluded this round of negotiations with the Saudi delegation with the presence of the Omani mediator in Sana'a, and the atmosphere of the negotiations was positive and serious."
Abdus Salam added: We agreed that the current peaceful atmospheres including the ceasefire will be maintained and communications will remain strong.
