It appears that the Treaty of Taif was renewed as scheduled in 1974, though the details of the renewal remained uncertain, largely as Yemen did not wish to be seen to be renouncing its traditional claim to Asir, Jizan and Najran. Following the unification of Yemen in 1990, the upcoming need to renew the Treaty of Taif, and also the discovery of oil in the border region, prompted the reinstigation of boundary negotiations in 1992. Negotiations stalled due to the Yemen Civil War in 1994, but were renewed the following year, resulting in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on 26 February 1995. This re-affirmed the terms of the Taif Treaty and allowed for further discussions over the rest of the border. In 2000 the Treaty of Jeddah was signed, which finalised the entire border at its current position.
