Gulf
Riyadh - Abdulhadi Habtor
Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik revealed that his government has received "strong messages of support" from Saudi Arabia that will back his country's economy. The PM had met in Riyadh on Sunday with Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman. In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, Abdulmalik described the meeting as "positive and fruitful". It is only natural for Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Saudi leadership and people to support Yemen, he added. The people of Yemen will never forget the historic and noble stances of the Kingdom, he stressed. The messages of support received by his government from Riyadh, the Gulf Cooperation Council, international quartet, friendly countries and donor countries and agencies will be "strongly reflected" in achieving economic and financial stability in Yemen, continued the PM. His government, stated Abdulmalik, is determined to carry out reforms and combat corruption. Prince Khalid and Abdulmalik had discussed the Kingdom's efforts and initiative to achieve peace in Yemen. Prince Khalid underscored the Saudi-led Arab coalition's commitment to support the Yemeni government and people, adding that his country was monitoring the difficult economic situation and welcomes reform efforts. Abdulmalik stressed that backing efforts to improve the economy is no less important than confronting Iran's "bloody agenda in Yemen that it is carrying out through its Houthi militias." "This is a fateful and existential battle for all Arabs," he added. The Yemeni political powers must also recognize this critical stage and overcome petty interests so that they can unite ranks to fight the Houthis and Iran's regional agenda, he urged.
