The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) launched Wednesday the first workshop of a program to build the capabilities of the Yemeni Ministry of Finance in its headquarters in Riyadh.

The workshop comes as part of a comprehensive program to build the capacities of Yemen’s government agencies, with the participation of the Saudi Ministry of Finance.

Wednesday’s ceremony was attended by Yemen’s Planning and International Cooperation Minister Waed Badheeb and Finance Minister Salem bin Brik.

Also, Saudi Ambassador to Yemen and Supervisor-General of SDRPY Mohammed bin Saeed Al Jaber, Chief of the GCC Mission to Yemen Sarhan al-Minaikher, Director General of the Development Cooperation at the Ministry of Finance Abdul Mohsen al-Mutawa, and several experts in training and building capabilities attended the event.

The program, launched by the Kingdom in mid-2021 to establish a sustainable technical cooperation, aims at enhancing the planning, development and public finance capabilities by enabling public institutions to identify their needs and assess their capacities to perform their basic duties and adapt to various circumstances, Badheeb explained.

The ministry is pleased to serve as a bridge for cooperation and communication and to enhance coordination between the SDRPY and all ministries, government institutions and local councils, in an attempt to support the steps taken by the leadership of the two brotherly and neighboring countries to establish a comprehensive development vision able to build the capacities of the Yemeni state, Badheeb added.

Bin Brik hailed the efforts and support provided by Saudi Arabia to Yemen to alleviate the suffering of its people.

Over the past years, the Kingdom has been keen to support the Yemeni economy by depositing cash in the central bank, providing the oil derivatives grant to operate power plants throughout the country, in addition to the SDRPY projects and initiatives, the finance minister said.

Al Jaber, for his part, affirmed the Kingdom’s keenness to support the Yemeni government, its institutions and brotherly people in line with a strategy and a vision that prioritize the people, meet their needs and improve their livelihood.

The Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, praised the launch of the International Coalition for a Two-State Solution, expressing hope that this coalition will help grant the Palestinian people their legitimate rights to establish their state and live in peace and security.
This statement was made during his speech at the ministerial meeting titled "The Situation in Gaza and Implementing the Two-State Solution as a Path to Just Peace," organized by the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the European Union, and Norway, on Thursday, September 26, 2024, on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, USA.
Albudaiwi noted that holding this important event comes at an extremely critical time, as the situation in Gaza has reached one of the most severe humanitarian crises of our modern era. He emphasised the GCC's commitment to supporting all efforts aimed at alleviating the immense suffering of the Palestinian people, SPA reported.
He called for decisive action from the international community in light of the ongoing crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, whose victims are the beleaguered Palestinian people, suffering from severe shortages of essential supplies, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of innocent lives, the majority of whom are women and children.
"These actions represent a blatant violation of international humanitarian law, and those responsible for these violations must be held accountable," he stated.
During his speech, the GCC Secretary General also commended the ministerial committee formed by the extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit for its significant diplomatic efforts in garnering international support for a ceasefire, ending the Israeli aggression in Gaza, and enhancing recognition of the Palestinian state while ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid to the neediest populations.
He expressed gratitude to all countries that have recognized the State of Palestine, urging other nations to take this step to affirm their commitment to international justice and support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state. Moreover, he renewed the GCC's call for an international conference that includes all relevant parties to end the occupation and ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He emphasized that this solution is the only way to achieve peace and stability for both Palestinians and Israelis.
He pointed out that the international community must recognise that the continued expansion of Israeli settlements and repeated violations of Islamic holy sites, particularly Al Aqsa Mosque, exacerbate tensions in the region. "These practices not only threaten the prospects for peace but also constitute violations of international law, complicating the path toward a two-state solution, which remains the only viable option for achieving a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace," Albudaiwi said.
In conclusion, he asserted that the time has come to turn words into actions, and the international community has a moral and legal obligation to take decisive steps, not only to provide immediate relief to Gaza but also to ensure a just and lasting peace. "The GCC stands ready to cooperate with all parties to achieve these goals," he concluded.
