Yemeni warring parties start talks in Amman to discuss economic terms of Stockholm Agreement
Yemen's warring parties started talks on Tuesday in Jordanian capital of Amman to discuss the issue of Hodeidah ports under the Stockholm Agreement.
Hanan al-Badawi, spokeswoman for UN envoy to Yemen, Said that the results of the talks will be evident once they are finished.
A well informed Yemeni sourceSaid that the discussions covered the administrations of Hodeidah ports and using their revenues to pay for the salaries of the civil servants.
The source added that the discussions might take a long time as the Houthis have strict viewpoints.
Some progress is expected after the talks and some announcements will be made in this regard, the source said.
The Stockholm Agreement, the first step toward a comprehensive political solution, was reached in December 2018 and focused on the port city of Hodeidah, the lifeline for Yemen's most commercial imports and humanitarian aid.
Both Yemeni parties have largely obeyed the cease-fire deal, but failed to withdraw forces from the city.
Hodeidah has been the focus of clashes since 2017.
