Representatives of both sides met in Geneva to discuss the exchange of 1,008 prisoners, Anadolu wrote.
It is reported that among the prisoners who will benefit from the exchange there will be soldiers of Saudi Arabia, but no information has been given about their number.
Yemen was destroyed by a conflict that emerged from control in March 2015 when the Houth rebels took control of the capital Sana and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hades to leave the country.
Yemen's government in this conflict is being supported by a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia, while rebels are backed by Iran.
The Houthi Movement is named as a terrorist organisation by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia.
