On Monday, the United Nations Special Adviser on Yemen Jamal Benomar said that Hadi had expressed reservations about continuing the current negotiations in Sanaa.
According to Benomar, the Yemeni leader also requested they be transferred to a safe place to which the parties should agree.
The remarks from Hadi come shortly after he escaped house arrest in Sanaa and fled to the southern city of Aden, where he attended a meeting of governors.
He renewed his commitment to the political transition process in the country, as well as UN-sponsored talks aimed at resolving the current crisis in Yemen.
On February 20, Hadi, who offered his resignation last month, released a statement dismissing all measures taken by the Houthi movement after the Ansarullah fighters of the movement gained control of Sanaa.
The Yemeni parliament has not approved Hadis resignation.
The Ansarullah revolutionaries say the Yemeni government has been incapable of properly running the affairs of the country and providing security.
In September 2014, the Ansarullah fighters gained control of Sanaa. Before gaining control of the capital, the Houthis had set a deadline for the political parties to put aside differences and fill the power vacuum, but the deadline was missed without any change in the impoverished countrys political scene.
The Houthi movement played a key role in the popular 2011 revolution that forced dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh to quit after 33 years of rule.
