Sana’a: Yemen’s President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi said that 75 per cent of Yemen’s problems are economic, calling on Arab countries to help Yemen overcome those problems.
Hadi made the remarks during a meeting on Saturday with a visiting delegation of the Arab Parliament, Yemen News Agency Saba reported.
He briefed the delegation on issues relating to the political settlement in Yemen whose implementation is in line with the GCC initiative to bring Yemen out of its political deadlock. He also briefed the delegation on its timed implementation mechanism in line with the UN Security Council resolutions 2014 and 2051.
“The situation now is better compared with 2011 and 2012,” Hadi said.
“We have implemented many of the provisions of the GCC initiative based on the implementation programmes on the ground, including many decisions, steps and procedures that led to the restructuring of the armed forces and police as an essential step to create an atmosphere appropriate for the success of the National Dialogue Conference which is going on from success to success,” President Hadi told the Arab delegates. He said hopes are high to overcome the difficulties and challenges to get Yemen to peace, harmony, development and prosperity, adding that “75 per cent of Yemen’s problems are economic”. He also noted the rise of unemployment and poverty among young people who aspire to a better future through jobs outlets to live in safety and dignity.
