He discussed with Yemeni Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Ahmed al-Maisari a number of issues of common concern, including means to strengthen bilateral cooperation.


Al Jaber conveyed the assurances of Maisari on the stability of the security situation in the provinces that fall under the control of the legitimate government, stressing that those who contributed to the defeat and expulsion of Houthis and al-Qaeda are able to impose security and protect commercial convoys.


The meeting was held in the presence of the governors and security directors in the governorates of Aden, Dhale , Lahj, Abyan, Taiz and Hodeidah.

We thank you all and are optimistic about having a promising future," Al Jaber tweeted, explaining that this sentence was quoted by a representative of one of the civil society organizations of whom he held a meeting with in Aden.


In another tweet, Al Jaber said that he also met with the president of the Chamber of Commerce and his deputy and a group of Yemeni businessmen in Aden.
