The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) signed a joint cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni government on the development and reconstruction of Yemen.

The deal was signed by Supervisor of the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen and Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed bin Saeed Al Jaber and Yemen's Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Najib al-Auj at the SDRPY headquarters in Riyadh.

The agreement is part of the cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Yemen and the reinforcement of ties between the fraternal countries to provide and implement development and reconstruction projects and services in Yemen.

The SDRPY was established in May 2018 by a royal decree issued by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz to contribute with international donors and the World Bank in developing and reconstructing Yemen.

The SDRPY projects cover the health, education, energy and agriculture sectors. They have also tackled fishery resources, water, dams, roads, airports, government and residential buildings.

New York Meeting Aims to Develop Strategic Partnership between Yemen, Int’l Community

The Yemeni government is seeking to forge a real strategic partnership with the international community and garner political and economic support for its reform plans.

Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak traveled to the United States at the head of a delegation to take part in an international ministerial meeting aimed at backing the legitimate Yemeni government.

The meeting, held in partnership with Britain, will be hosted at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Monday. The UN Security Council is also set to meet on the same day.

British Ambassador to Yemen Abda Sharif said last week that Yemeni-British coordination is ongoing to hold the New York meeting. Some 30 regional and international parties are expected to attend.

She hoped the meeting would mark the beginning of real partnership between Yemen and the international community, adding, however, that a lot of work remains to be done.

The conference is a step forward in that direction, she stated.

Bin Mubarak said his government will present to regional and international partners its vision for Yemen’s economic recovery and stability and its plan for the next two years.

The government is prioritizing urgent reforms, he stressed in remarks to the media.

The ministerial meeting demonstrates the international community’s commitment to supporting the government and its efforts to achieve stability and security in Yemen, he went on to say.

It sends a “strong message, especially amid the rapid regional and international changes,” he noted.

The PM is scheduled to hold meetings with representatives of friendly and fraternal nations on the sidelines of the meeting. He is also expected to hold talks with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and senior UN officials, as well as officials from the International Monetary Fund.
