WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen will visit the Gulf on Monday “to advance ongoing un-led efforts to expand the truce and launch a comprehensive peace process,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement.
Tim Lenderking “will meet with Yemeni, Saudi, Emirati, Omani and international partners to discuss the necessary steps to secure a durable ceasefire and launch an inclusive, UN-mediated political process while ensuring continued efforts to ease the economic crisis and suffering of Yemenis,” the department added.
