UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan will preside over the meeting to discuss the latest development in the crisis, the Saudi Press Agency said.

This is the third meeting of the GCC ministers in less than two weeks. The GCC has offered to mediate between the Yemeni government and opposition.

The last meeting, which was held on April 10, urged President Ali Abdullah Saleh to quit after transferring power to the vice president.
