UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Yemen Ismael Ould Cheikh Ahmad called on Friday the UN-brokered peace consultations between the Yemeni government and the rebels, in Kuwaiti, as "constructive and positive." "Among important things that we discussed is parties adherence with the ceasefire ... but I can say that the atmosphere was very positive," Ould Cheikh Ahmed said, during a press conference, on the second day of the talks between Yemeni disputed parties. "We are closer to peace now more than any other time," the UN Envoy told reporters.
