DUBAI: UN-sponsored talks on a prisoner exchange deal between Yemen’s warring sides have been postponed by a day to Friday, according to a Yemeni government source.
The internationally recognised government and Houthi rebels had been scheduled to meet on Thursday in Switzerland to finalise a deal that is expected to see more than 1,400 prisoners freed.
“There are members of the government committee who have yet to arrive, so it was decided that discussions on the prisoner swap be postponed until Friday,” the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP. (AFP)
