Dr. Rayed Krimly, deputy minister for public diplomacy at the Saudi foreign ministry, says the country reached out to Yemen’s Houthis in recent weeks as fighting escalates between the two sides, but the group refused to meet in Oman, AFP reports.
“At the beginning of this escalation, we asked them to meet in Muscat, Oman and they refused. This was the last communication which happened a few weeks ago,” the foreign ministry official said during a virtual briefing with reporters.
