Leader of Yemen’s PLC returns to Aden

Chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), President Rashad al-Alimi, returned to the temporary capital, Aden, on Monday after a regional tour.

During his trip, he held consultations with officials from Saudi Arabia and other key regional and international actors.

They discussed developments in Yemen, regional issues, prospects for reviving the peace process, and ways to mitigate economic hardships worsened by Houthi militias’ attacks on oil facilities and international shipping lanes.

President al-Alimi expressed his deep gratitude, on behalf of himself, the PLC members, and the government, to the Arab Coalition supporting Yemen’s legitimate government, he said in a statement to the Yemeni News Agency Saba.

He particularly thanked Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for their commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people and supporting their aspirations to restore state institutions, security, stability, and peace.

The Chairman of the PLC reaffirmed the council’s dedication to fulfilling the government’s obligations. Their primary focus is on paying public civil service employees and improving basic services across the country.
