Sanaa , Yemen ( CNN ) -- Yemen 's embattled president has been huddling with members of his ruling party in neighboring Saudi Arabia as world and regional powers press for an end to the political crisis in his country and a smooth transition of political power . Ali Abdullah Saleh met on Wednesday with officials and leaders of his ruling General People 's Congress party , the state-run news agency SABA and a high-level party official said . This comes amid `` Immense pressure from the international community '' to accept an agreement for a transition of power , the official told CNN . The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council , a group of Gulf Arab states , has come up with a plan to ease Saleh out of office , a move that would placate widespread anti-government sentiment in the impoverished Arab nation . The official said Salehwants to make sure he consults senior party officials before he would sign a power transfer deal . Saleh and other top Yemeni officials were badly injured in June during an assassination attempt on the presidential palace amid a tribal revolt against his 32-year rule . Saleh was taken to Saudi Arabia for treatment . SABA reported on Thursday that the party officials congratulated Saleh and others for their recovery and on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan .

Yemen has endured months of protests and militant violence . Protests against Saleh began in January after the successful uprising in Tunisia triggered regionwide reform movements . The protests led to open street battles after Saleh balked at the political transition deal . At the same time , the government has also faced off with Islamic militants , including the al Qaeda wing in Yemen , regarded by analysts as a potent and dangerous group . Saleh had been discharged from a military hospital , but it was not clear when he would return to Yemen . Saleh 's vice president , Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi , has been running the government since then .
