Geneva (AFP) - Yemen's warring parties have failed to reach a deal at UN-hosted peace negotiations in Geneva that are set to wrap up Friday, Yemen's foreign minister in exile said.

"We really came here with a big hope ... but unfortunately the Huthi delegation did not allow us really to reach a real progress as we expected," Riad Yassin told reporters.

He stressed though that "not getting a success as we hoped didn't mean that we have failed," adding efforts would continue to find a peaceful solution to Yemen's brutal conflict.

He said the government delegation remained optimistic of a peaceful solution for Yemen "under the umbrella of the UN," but said no date had yet been set for the next round of talks.
