The talks are to include representatives of President Abd-Rabbo Mansour Hadi's government, the Houthi rebels, representatives of former President Saleh who are fighting alongside the Houthis, as well as several other Yemeni political parties involved in the ongoing 2 civil war.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and his special envoy 3 for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed will be attending the talks.
