3. The Sultanate of Oman followed a policy of positive neutrality, as it sought to play the role of mediator, which made it considered an important party in the peace efforts.
4. The State of Kuwait has also followed a balanced policy with the Yemeni crisis, as it seeks to maintain relations with all regional and international parties concerned with the crisis. What has hindered its peace efforts is that it is among the coalition countries that launched the war on Yemen.

Regional countries can play an effective role in achieving lasting peace in Yemen, most notably the Sultanate of Oman and the State of Kuwait.
