If 'progress' is made in Sweden, we can hold new round of talks: Yemeni rebels

Yemen's Houthi rebels are open to more talks with the rival government if progress is made this week at UN-brokered talks in Sweden, a spokesman said.

"If we leave these consultations having made progress -- progress in building confidence and finding a framework -- we can hold a new round of talks" in the coming months, Huthi spokesman Mohammed Abdelsalam told reporters.
