Speaking on state-run Kuwait TV on Thursday, Admed said the final session of the talks was scheduled on Saturday to issue a communiqué that will emphasise the main points achieved. The UN envoy also said the talks will resume and warring sides will return to Kuwait, without providing a specific date.

The Yemen government delegation, which left the negotiating table earlier this week, has returned to Kuwait on Thursday to attend the final session.
