The United Nations announced on Wednesday that the conditions are almost ready to hold next months peace talks on Yemen. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the organization was close to creating the necessary conditions to hold the Sweden talks between Yemens warring parties in early December, but there is no agreement yet. "We are at a very crucial moment in relation to Yemen," said Guterres who added that he had spoken earlier in the day to his UN peace envoy Martin Griffiths. He said Griffiths has been engaged in shuttle diplomacy, talking to Yemens internationally recognized government and the Iran-backed Houthi militias. Guterres said starting peace talks "would be an extremely important objective." Moreover, he revealed that he was ready to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, to advance diplomatic efforts to end the war. Both officials will be in Argentina to attend the G20 summit.
