Progress in Yemen peace talks brings hope for end to war.

Oman's diplomatic efforts to bring a negotiated solution to the war in Yemen have been productive, with the recent meetings between Saudi and Omani delegations with Houthi representatives leading to cautious optimism that the fighting in Yemen may be winding down. Oman's unique balancing role in the Arabian Peninsula has enabled it to facilitate talks between the different Yemeni factions, Saudi, Iranian, Russian, and American diplomats, as well as United Nations officials. Oman seeks stability in Yemen that does not threaten its own security and wants to be on friendly terms with friends and on correct terms with foes.
