Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has received Mohammed Abdullah Al Yadoumi, Chairman of the Higher Committee of the Yemeni Congregation for Reform, and Abdul Wahab Al Ansi, Secretary General of the Congregation.

While discussing with the Yemeni politicians the latest developments in Yemen and exchanging views on a host of issues, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed reiterated the UAE's commitment to supporting ongoing efforts aimed at helping the Yemeni people to restore security and stability.

Yadoumi and Ansi expressed their appreciation and gratitude to the UAE and the Saudi-led Arab Coalition for standing with the Yemeni people in confronting the Houthi coup militias, and exerting efforts to restore security and stability so as to initiate a new era of reconstruction and development.

They also thanked the UAE for implementing humanitarian projects for the benefit of the Yemeni people.

Meanwhile, UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on his Twitter account that during the United Nations Security Council meeting on Friday, the Coalition “will urge all parties to take advantage of window of opportunity to restart political process.”

“We look forward to hosting (UN Envoy) Martin Griffiths this week in Abu Dhabi, he said.

On the situation in Hodeidah, Gargash said that the Yemeni port city is “quiet” and its port is “operating.”

“We are working closely with the UN on expanding humanitarian assistance for all areas of Yemen. Important work to address people’s needs,” he tweeted.
