NO US OFFICIAL INITIATIVE FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN GPC, OPPOSITION

SANA'A, March 21 (Saba) - Yemen denied on Sunday that USA has
presented an official initiative for dialogue between General People
Congress (GPC) and the opposition parties.

Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi told the Saba-run Alsyasiah daily
that initiative has been presented by the American Democracy
Institute (ADI) two weeks ago not by the American administration as
reported by some media outlets.

He asserted that the GPC has already called for holding dialogue
several times since 2009 but, unfortunately, Joint Meeting Parties
have not responded.
