Chairman of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi held talks in Aden on Tuesday with Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed al-Jaber.

Their discussions focused on the Kingdom’s efforts to renew the truce in Yemen, ease the suffering of its people and reach a ceasefire with the aim of coming up with a comprehensive UN-mediated political solution to the conflict.

Al-Jaber conveyed to al-Alimi the greetings of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The officials tackled developments in Yemen and the economic reforms carried out by the PLC and government with the support of the Saudi-led Arab coalition.

Al-Alimi praised the Saudi efforts to extend the truce as part of its initiative to achieve peace in Yemen and meet the aspirations of the people in ending the coup by the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

He also hailed the Kingdom’s humanitarian support to Yemen through its various initiative that are being carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center and Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen.

The Arab League has called for urgent action to create a safer world for future generations, stressing the need to protect vulnerable groups, including migrants, and strengthen their resilience.
In a statement issued on Wednesday to mark International Migrants Day, observed annually on December 18, the Arab League emphasized the importance of maximizing migrants' contributions to sustainable development in both host and origin countries.

It also underscored the need to combat racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and all forms of discrimination to foster social cohesion and cultural dialogue, adding that these objectives align with global frameworks such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, and the Pact for the Future.
The statement referenced initiatives led by Bahrain, as outlined in the declaration of the 33rd Arab Summit held on May 16, 2024.

These initiatives include providing educational services to those affected by regional conflicts, particularly those deprived of formal education due to security challenges, displacement, and migration. The initiatives also aim to improve healthcare for conflict-affected populations.
Highlighting the ongoing global crises, the General Secretariat of the Arab League noted that instability, poverty, underdevelopment, and climate change are driving unprecedented migration flows. "Millions of migrants face an uncertain and unpredictable future due to wars, armed conflicts, poverty, and climate challenges. This reality underscores the urgent need to address the root causes of instability to prevent future generations from undertaking dangerous journeys in search of safety and opportunity," the statement said.
The Arab League called for sustainable solutions that balance immediate humanitarian assistance with long-term development strategies. It stressed the importance of promoting sustainability based on the interests of future generations, ensuring a comprehensive approach that addresses conflict, violence, and poverty while fostering global cooperation.
