The Yemeni government and the Presidential Leadership Council expressed their deep appreciation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's continued commitment to achieving stability in Yemen and ending the humanitarian suffering caused by years of conflict. This appreciation underscores the deep fraternal ties and shared destiny that bind the two brotherly nations, and Riyadh's pivotal role in leading the Arab Coalition and supporting the legitimate Yemeni government in various international forums.
Within a historical context and strategic ties,
this Saudi stance is not new to the political landscape. Since the outbreak of the Yemeni crisis, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has stood with the Yemeni people, throwing its full political, military, and economic weight behind them. This support has not been limited to the military aspect of restoring the state, but has extended to intensive diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing the Yemeni factions to the negotiating table. This was clearly demonstrated in the Riyadh Agreement and the Yemeni-Yemeni consultations sponsored by the Kingdom, which led to the formation of the Presidential Leadership Council to unify the national ranks.
Economic and humanitarian support: A cornerstone of economic stability
, Saudi deposits in the Central Bank of Yemen have served as a lifeline for the national currency, with successive financial grants helping to curb inflation and prevent a complete economic collapse. In parallel, the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) is implementing hundreds of service projects in the health, education, energy, water, and roads sectors, reflecting a strategic vision aimed at transitioning from emergency relief to sustainable development and reconstruction.
The regional and international importance of Saudi efforts
: On both regional and international levels, Saudi Arabia's efforts in Yemen are viewed as a crucial factor in maintaining international peace and security. Stability in Yemen not only means protecting the Yemeni people, but also extends to securing international shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and safeguarding Arab and Gulf national security from foreign interference. These efforts underscore the Kingdom's commitment to supporting the UN and international process aimed at reaching a comprehensive and sustainable political solution that guarantees Yemen's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In conclusion, the official and popular Yemeni position remains grateful for these sincere brotherly stances, which confirm that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the first strategic partner and the greatest supporter of Yemen in its battle to restore the state and achieve development and prosperity.
