The Chairman of the Leadership Council receives the Ambassador of the United States.

On Thursday, Dr. Rashad Mohammed Alimi, the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, welcomed U.S. Ambassador Stephen Fagin for an important discussion. The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation and exploring future opportunities between the two nations.

Addressing Yemen’s Current Situation

During their conversation, President Alimi addressed the ongoing challenges in Yemen. He highlighted the need for international support to mitigate the impacts of halted oil exports and rising shipping costs. These issues have significantly affected the living conditions of Yemenis, particularly due to Houthi terrorist attacks supported by the Iranian regime.

Regional Issues and Humanitarian Concerns

President Alimi briefed Ambassador Fagin on local developments and Yemen’s stance on regional matters. He condemned the brutal Israeli violations against the Palestinian people and reaffirmed Yemen’s support for their right to establish a fully sovereign state. This stance aligns with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Strengthening U.S.-Yemen Relations

The President praised the distinguished bilateral relations with the United States. He acknowledged the humanitarian and developmental interventions provided by the U.S. and expressed hope for increased efforts to intercept Iranian arms shipments that threaten the security and stability of Yemen and the broader region.

Dr. Yahya Al-Shaibi, Director of the Presidential Office, also attended the meeting. This engagement underscores the commitment of Yemen’s leadership to foster international partnerships and address pressing humanitarian and security challenges.
