联合国一位高级官员表示也门政府已经同意本月底在日内瓦同胡塞判军会谈,目标是将联合国就也门的局势提出的一项决议案纳入实施,结束长达数月的激战。

联合国也门特使伊斯梅尔·奥尔德·谢赫·艾哈迈德在社交媒体Facebook上写道,在与现居沙特的也门流亡总统哈迪会谈之后,达成了就月底间举行会谈的协议。联合国发言人杜雅里克后来也证实了艾哈迈德提到的这次会谈。

上个星期,由伊朗方面支持的什叶派胡塞反政府武装的领导人们正式承诺,将执行联合国安理会提出的一项重要的决议案。上述决议案要求叛军从他们去年攻下的不止一个城市中撤退。之后,也门政府也表示同意加入和谈。

联合国发言人杜雅里克说,在接下来的日子里,联合国的规划人员将与也门政府和胡塞反叛势力双方的代表人物一道,为即将到来的会谈完成准备工作。

A top United Nations official says the Yemeni government has agreed to meet at the end of the month in Geneva for talks with Houthi rebels aimed at implementing a U.N. resolution that would end months of heavy fighting.

Special U.N. envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, writing on Facebook, said agreement on the meeting was reached after talks with exiled Yemen President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is living in Saudi Arabia.  U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric later confirmed the talks.

The government's agreement to participate came after Iran-backed Shi'ite Houthi leaders formally committed last week to implementing a key U.N. Security Council resolution that calls on rebels to withdraw from Yemeni cities seized in the past year.

U.N. spokesman Dujarric said U.N. planners will work with government and Houthi representatives in the coming days to complete preparations for the upcoming talks.
