Progress in State Reconstruction

The President discussed the achievements in rebuilding state institutions and ensuring the operation of international missions and organizations in Aden. He noted ongoing economic and administrative reforms aimed at addressing the repercussions of Houthi terrorist attacks on oil facilities and international shipping routes.

Addressing Houthi Actions

President Alimi condemned the Houthi militia’s actions, which perpetuate a war economy and fund terrorism. He criticized their severe human rights violations and resistance to efforts aimed at improving living conditions in Yemen.

Commitment to Peace

The President reaffirmed the council and government’s commitment to a comprehensive peace process based on national, regional, and international references. He emphasized the need to enhance government efforts in economic recovery and extend its authority across the nation.

Support from Regional Allies

In this context, President Alimi acknowledged the developmental and humanitarian assistance from the Saudi-led coalition, particularly from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This support has been crucial in enabling the Yemeni state to meet its obligations.

Ensuring Maritime Security

The President reiterated the importance of relying on the legitimate government as a trusted partner to ensure freedom of international navigation, combat extremism and terrorism, and address piracy.

Call for International Action

He also stressed the need for the international community to classify the Houthi militia as a foreign terrorist organization. Additionally, he called for support for the United Nations’ inspection mechanisms to improve their efficiency in enforcing the arms embargo against Iran, which threatens Yemen’s security and stability.
