Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Al-Jaber held talks in Riyadh on Thursday with a delegation from Yemen's Southern Transitional Council (STC).

The meeting focused on the latest political developments in the country, notably the STC's unilateral military measures in the eastern governorates and their impact on the Southern Cause.

Al-Jaber stressed to the delegation the importance of uniting southern ranks and avoiding measures that would harm the cause and weaken efforts to confront joint challenges.

The measures, led by STC head Aidrous al-Zubaidi, did not help the cause, he stressed. Rather, they weakened the internal front during a critical phase that demands the highest levels of coordination and responsibility.

The Saudi and Yemeni officials discussed political means to approach the next phase as part of efforts to correct course in a way that meets the aspirations of the people of the South and aligns with the efforts of the Saudi-led coalition to restore legitimacy in Yemen that are aimed at restoring security and stability in the country.

The meeting addressed arrangements for the Riyadh-hosted conference on the Southern Cause. Saudi Arabia has been keen on sponsoring comprehensive dialogue aimed at addressing the issue to come up with sustainable solutions that take into consideration national and regional circumstances.

STC member Mohammed al-Ghaithi described the meeting with Al-Jaber as fruitful. The gatherers rejected actions that harm the unity of southern ranks and stressed the importance of prioritizing the public interest.

The STC leadership highly appreciates the efforts carried out by Saudi Arabia, especially is hosting of the upcoming conference on the South, underscoring its complete support and faith in the Saudi leadership and its pivotal role in restoring stability, Ghaithi added.
