Yemeni govt wanted agreement to improve economy during UN-led peace talks

Yemeni Foreign Minister Khalid al Yamani on Thursday welcomed a U.N.-backed agreement reached at peace talks in Sweden regarding the port city of Hodeidah.

But Yamani, speaking at the end of the talks near Stockholm, said he regretted that the consultations had not resulted in a significant agreement to improve Yemen's economy which has collapsed after nearly four years of war.
