A new round of UN-brokered Yemeni peace talks could be held by the end of this month in Kuwait, a Yemeni government official told media outlets on Monday.

The talks would be accompanied by a ceasefire in the country where a Saudi-led coalition launched a brutal military campaign in support of the internationally-recognized government one year ago, said the official who requested anonymity.

Yemen's warring parties who met with UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed last week have agreed on "the principle of holding a new round of talks in late March in Kuwait", the official said.

Yemen's Foreign Minister, Abdulmalik al-Mekhlafi, on a visit to Doha, later said the government would attend the talks.

On Sunday, the UN envoy wrote on his Facebook page that he held "positive and constructive talks" in Sanaa with Huthis and their allies.

"Preparations are ongoing for the next round of peace talks on Yemen," he wrote, without giving a specific date or location.

A resumption of talks must be accompanied by a "week-long truce that could be renewed if respected", he said, adding that discussions should focus on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2216.

The World Health Organization says war on Yemen has killed almost 6,300 people over the past year and the United Nations has warned of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe.
