Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir arrived on Tuesday to Saudi Arabia on an official visit to the Kingdom.

At King Salman Airbase Airport, the President was received by Riyadh Region Governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, State Minister and Cabinet Member Dr. Musaed bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, and a number of officials.

After his arrival, Bashir met with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz at his palace in Irqah, a town west of Riyadh.

The King and the president held official talks, during which they discussed bilateral relations binding the two countries, in addition to latest regional developments.

The meeting was attended by the Riyadh Region Governor, State Minister and Cabinet Member Prince Miteb bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, National Guard Minister Massed bin Mohammed Al-Ayban, and State Minister and Cabinet Member Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf and Finance Minister Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jada'an.

It was attended, also, by the Sudanese accompanying delegation, including the Foreign Minister Prof. Ibrahim Ghandour, Director of the Security and Intelligence Lt. Gen. Mohammed Atta and the Sudanese Charge D'Affaires to the Kingdom Dr. Ahmed Al-Tijjani Suwar.

Sudan has suffered under US trade sanctions for two decades and only recently the sanctions were lifted.

Sudanese officials have acknowledged Saudi Arabia’s role in having the sanctions lifted.

Bashir expressed "thanks and gratitude to the king for his fraternal sentiments, and to the Saudi government for the efforts exerted to back lifting the sanctions imposed on the African country,” the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

Mohammed Al Jaber, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Yemen, announced on Thursday that the Kingdom has provided new financial support to Yemen’s government budget to cover the payment of salaries for state employees, pursuant to directives from the Saudi leadership.

In a post on the social media platform X, Al Jaber said the support comes in addition to the development projects and initiatives announced on Wednesday in several sectors.

These include the provision of petroleum products to operate power plants, aimed at improving the living conditions of the Yemeni people, as well as support for the government’s efforts to implement an economic reform program to achieve financial and economic stability.

The Saudi ambassador also stated that salaries for all military and security forces affiliated with the Supreme Military Committee will be paid by the Saudi-led Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, starting on Sunday.

Al Jaber noted that these measures are expected to have a significant impact on society and on Yemen’s economy, which he said will receive substantial support from the Kingdom in the coming period.

Meanwhile, Yemeni Prime Minister Salem bin Breik said on Thursday that the new and urgent financial support from Saudi Arabia, totaling $90 million, reflects the Kingdom’s sincere fraternal stance and its continued commitment to supporting the Yemeni people, easing their humanitarian and living hardships, strengthening economic and financial stability, and ensuring the regular payment of salaries, which the government considers its highest priority.

In a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), bin Breik affirmed that the government, in full coordination with the Central Bank of Yemen, will immediately begin taking the necessary steps to ensure the swift disbursement of salaries to eligible public sector employees through transparent and responsible mechanisms that enhance confidence in financial and monetary institutions.

The prime minister praised Saudi Arabia’s leading role, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in supporting constitutional legitimacy and backing government efforts at the political, economic, and humanitarian levels. He said the support reflects the depth of fraternal relations and the shared destiny between the two countries.

Bin Breik added that the government continues to implement its economic and financial reform program, improve the efficiency of public resource management, and work with brotherly nations and international partners to improve economic conditions and restore monetary stability.
