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.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated on Wednesday in the second meeting of the G20 Foreign Ministers, chaired by Brazil, urging them to enable the achievement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the adoption of a “reliable” path to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

"The fact that our meeting is being held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly is an indication of the importance of the G20 and its leadership in ensuring the health of the global economy, enhancing multilateral cooperation, and finding innovative solutions to common challenges,” the Foreign Minister said in his speech.

He underscored the urgent need to adhere to successful models of collective action and the importance of seeking to develop and reform international institutions.

"The repercussions of wars and political conflicts undermine efforts to establish international peace and security and cast their shadows on all aspects of multilateral action, and when these institutions fail to carry out their fundamental duties towards these crises, this creates a gap in international action and a crisis of confidence that undermines their legitimacy. This is what we are witnessing today in the way some international institutions deal with the humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine."

The Minister stressed that prolonging the war and expanding its scope deepens the suffering of the Palestinian people, threatens international peace and security, and undermines the chances of achieving comprehensive peace in the region.

"The G20 countries must intensify their joint efforts to overcome the international failure to confront Israel's serious violations of international laws and norms and enable the achievement of a ceasefire and the adoption of a reliable and irreversible path to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state,” he added.

Regarding reforming the United Nations system, especially the Security Council, he stressed that there is an urgent need for radical reform to compensate for the defects in addressing crises, responding to the needs of people, and keeping pace with international transformations and development requirements.

"The Kingdom affirms that the goal of reforming the Security Council is to enhance its credibility and effective response, believing in the importance of this in confronting contemporary crises and challenges, thus contributing to creating a more just, secure and stable world."
