Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman held in Riyadh talks on Monday with Chairman of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi.
Their meeting focused on United Nations efforts to extend the nationwide truce that expired on October 2.
Prince Khalid tweeted that the talks tackled efforts to extend the ceasefire “to achieve the security and stability of Yemen.”
The meeting was held at the directives of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The officials also covered the latest developments in Yemen and “the future steps to deal with potential changes there.”
The UN is still pursuing its efforts to renew the two-month truce that expired after the Yemeni parties failed to agree on its extension. It was first adopted in April and was renewed twice before expiring.
