Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud (L) and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (R) arrive for their meeting at the State Department February 12, 2020 in Washington, DCYemen-Press
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said on Saturday that Riyadh was still committed to back-channel peace talks with Yemen’s Houthis (Ansarullah) , despite a recent increase in violence in the five-year conflict, as reported by Reuters.
The United Nations has been trying to re-launch political negotiations to end the war and, separately, Riyadh has been holding informal talks with the Houthis since late September about de-escalation.
“We have a back channel and it’s not yet ready to move to the highest level,” Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud told the Munich Security Conference.

“It’s making progress.
We have seen some deterioration recently, but we are committed to moving it forward,” he added.
After a lull in hostilities in recent months on many fronts, violence has escalated at a frontline east of Yemen’s capital Sana'a, since a January 19 missile attack on Hadi's forces that killed more than 100 people.
Prince Faisal said Saudi would continue to respond to attacks, but that the recent assaults were not yet at the point that they were endangering the back-channel talks.
