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.

Qatar will reopen its embassy in Syria on Tuesday after it was closed for more than 13 years, the Gulf country's foreign ministry said on Sunday, a week after Bashar al-Assad was removed from power.

Qatar's embassy in Damascus has been shut since July 2011 when it withdrew its ambassador from Damascus after a series of deadly crackdowns by Assad's regime on protesters - violence that led to the 13-year-long civil war.

Doha in recent years did not join efforts by several Arab countries to mend relations with Assad's government and re-establish diplomatic relations with Damascus.

A lightning advance by the opposition, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group led to the ouster of Assad on Dec. 8.

Qatar's foreign ministry said in a statement its decision to reopen the embassy reflects its support for the Syrian people and their "struggle to attain their legitimate rights for a dignified life".
