President Alimi Bids Farewell to Indian Ambassador

On Tuesday, President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council, welcomed Indian Ambassador Suhail Ijaz Khan. This meeting marked the conclusion of Khan’s tenure as his country’s envoy to Yemen.

Appreciation for India’s Support

During the meeting, President Alimi expressed gratitude for India’s balanced stance and its support for Yemen’s stability, unity, and territorial integrity. He emphasized the importance of continued coordination and dialogue between Yemen and India in various international forums. Key issues included the protection of maritime routes, respect for national sovereignty, and addressing cross-border threats.

Regional and Local Developments

The discussion also covered recent developments in local and regional contexts. President Alimi highlighted the danger posed by Houthi militia attempts to drag Yemen into a broader conflict, serving Iranian agendas. He noted that this threat extends beyond Yemen, impacting the security and stability of Red Sea coastal nations and Asian countries linked to this vital maritime corridor, particularly India.

Call for International Cooperation

President Alimi urged the international community to view the Houthi militia as part of a complex network of regional threats. Reports indicate increasing coordination between the Houthis and terrorist organizations in the Horn of Africa. This collaboration involves arms smuggling and military technology, which jeopardizes international navigation security and disrupts essential food and goods supplies. He called for enhanced international cooperation to combat these escalating risks on all fronts.

Attendees

Dr. Yahya Al-Shaiabi, Director of the Presidential Office, also attended the meeting.
