Yemen’s PLC Expresses Gratitude to Saudi Arabia after Latest Grant

Chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi stressed that Saudi Arabia’s latest grant to his country reflects its continued support of Yemen and its people. 

Saudi Arabia provided Yemen with an urgent grant of oil derivatives worth $150 million to cover the operation of power plants running on diesel fuel and mazout throughout the country. 

Al-Alimi said the support, provided under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, demonstrates the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting the aspirations of Yemenis for security, stability, and development. 

Al-Alimi expressed his gratitude to the Saudi leadership, government, and people for the grant aimed at operating power plants and alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people. 

The Yemeni government welcomed the grant, saying it reflects the deep historical ties and shared destiny between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, reported the Saba news agency. 

It also underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting the Yemeni people and alleviating their humanitarian and economic suffering. 

The government stressed that Saudi Arabia’s sincere positions toward Yemen have not been limited to humanitarian and relief aspects but have also extended to supporting development, stability, and economic reform efforts, as well as strengthening the capacity of state institutions to meet obligations toward citizens.  

This reflects Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in supporting Yemen’s security and stability, it added. 

It praised the vital role played by the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) in implementing strategic, service, and development projects across various sectors, describing the program as an effective model of sustainable fraternal and development partnership.
