On Sunday, President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council, welcomed Jonathan Pecha, the U.S. Charge d’Affaires in Yemen. The two leaders discussed the strong bilateral relations between Yemen and the United States, focusing on opportunities for enhancement and development.

Current Local Conditions and International Support

During their meeting, they addressed the latest developments in Yemen across various sectors. They emphasized the need for international support to bolster government reform efforts, stabilize the national currency, and improve public services. Additionally, they coordinated efforts to support law enforcement agencies in combating terrorism, money laundering, and organized crime.

U.S. Support for Constitutional Legitimacy

President Alimi praised the United States for its unwavering support of constitutional legitimacy. He acknowledged the humanitarian interventions that aim to alleviate the crisis exacerbated by Houthi militia attacks, which are backed by the Iranian regime. These attacks have targeted oil facilities and international shipping routes.

Political, Economic, and Security Developments

The President provided an overview of the political, economic, security, and military developments in Yemen. He highlighted the comprehensive reforms and financial policies recently implemented in line with the decisions of the Presidential Leadership Council.

Alimi discussed the coordinated government efforts with the Central Bank and relevant authorities to regain control over inflation and the public budget deficit. He stressed the urgent need for regional and international support to strengthen these initiatives.

Significant Security and Military Achievements

The President also noted important successes in security and military operations.

He acknowledged the active role of the U.S. in supporting the United Nations inspection mechanism and enforcing the arms embargo against Iranian weapons supplied to the Houthis. This collaboration aims to cut off funding sources for their terrorist activities and mitigate threats to Yemen’s security and stability.
