UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Ismaïl Ould Cheikh Ahmed on Friday, revealed that a close meeting between the United Nations and representatives of the coup will take place in Geneva or in the region.
He said in an interview with Al Arabiya channel that the upcoming meeting will discuss the details of the initiative of Al-Hodeida port and Sana'a airport, adding that the Hodeidah plan allows for the entry of humanitarian aid and food.
Regarding the Houthi and Saleh's militia, he added, “they are closing the door, but we are still trying with them”.

He praised Yemen's government for backing up his efforts.
