The Yemeni parties, which were not part of a West-backed power-transfer deal signed after the 2011 unrest, on Tuesday agreed to participate in a comprehensive national dialogue expected in coming months, Saba reported.
The statement was made at a meeting with the liaison team in charge with communication with these parties to bring them to the dialogue, for which preparations have got underway, according to the official agency.
At the meeting chaired by head of the liaison team, Yasin Saeed Noman, the representatives of the parties agreed to participate in the dialogue without conditions, stressing the importance of dialogue as the best way to lift Yemen out of the current situation, Saba said.
The dialogue liaison committee is currently preparing for meetings with the Southern Movement Harak and the youth-led protesters inside the change and freedom squares to convince them to participate in the dialogue. A dialogue preparatory committee is scheduled to be formed before June 30.
According to informed sources, meetings with opposition abroad, mainly those guiding the southern movement, have been held in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
The liaison committee met with the Shiite Houthi Group based in Saada province in the far north, which agreed to participate in the dialogue, amid sporadic battles between its followers and Sunnis and the army.
In November, the General People's Congress and the Joint Meeting Parties, the main opposition bloc, signed the power transition deal, which was brokered by the GCC and backed by the UN.
The deal ended the political crisis and turmoil including the mass protests, which forced former president to sign it and resign after 33 years in office.
Under the deal, a power-sharing government from the GPC and the JMP was formed and the international community is now sponsoring its implementation, especially the terms over reforms in the army, preparations for the dialogue and tackling economic, political and security disorders.
