Today, Yemen’s Minister of Youth and Sports, Nayef Al-Bakri, met with his Russian counterpart, Mikhail Degtyarev, to discuss enhancing cooperation between the two nations.

Historical Ties and Future Aspirations

Al-Bakri praised the strong historical ties between Yemen and Russia. He emphasized that these relationships are built on fruitful cooperation across various sectors, particularly in youth and sports.

Looking ahead, Al-Bakri expressed the ministry’s desire to expand collaboration with Russia. He highlighted the importance of training and qualifying youth, enhancing the skills of professionals in sports medicine, and improving the overall standard of sports in Yemen.
