Yemen's Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik arrived Friday in Abu Dhabi to seek support for his government and strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.

Abdulmalik headed a high-ranking government delegation. He was offered an official reception at al-Bateen airport where the Minister of State at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Chief of Ceremonies, Khalifa Shaheen, welcomed him.

During his trip he is set to hold talks with senior Emirati officials on the historic bilateral relationships between the two countries.

The Prime Minister's state visit is intended to further enhance Yemeni-UAE cooperation, explore more Emirati support for the government's efforts to manage the economic hardships, eliminate Houthi militia's coup and restore the official authority in the country, Saba news agency said.

The PM held talks on Friday with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

According to Saba, the talks covered a range of issues and the latest developments in Yemen including the ongoing battles against the Houthi militias and the efforts to get the Riyadh Agreement fully implemented.

The Yemeni PM had recently returned to Aden from a visit to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, as part of his moves to enhance his government’s efforts to receive support from the Gulf States to back the Yemeni economy, in return for pledges that the cabinet carries out reforms and combat corruption.

Meanwhile, the Arab Coalition announced it continues to intensify aerial operations against the Iran-backed Houthis in the Yemeni governorates of Marib and Al-Jawf, killing dozens of them.

The Coalition said it carried out 19 operations against Houthis in Marib and Al-Jawf during the past 24 hours.

It added that at least 100 militiamen were killed and 11 Houthi vehicles were destroyed.

Kuwait issued seven new decrees on Saturday, revoking the Kuwaiti nationality of 1,145 women and 13 men, along with any individuals who may have acquired citizenship through affiliation.
The decrees, which are set to be published in the official Kuwaiti gazette on Sunday, stated that the decision followed a review of the Constitution, the Kuwaiti Nationality Law, and the recommendation of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister.
The decrees include the revocation of Kuwaiti nationality from 1,145 women, as well as individuals who may have acquired it through affiliation.
Additionally, the citizenship of certain individuals was rescinded under Article 21 of the Nationality Law, which permits the withdrawal of nationality if it was granted based on fraud, false statements, or incorrect documentation.
Under Kuwaiti law, the cabinet, acting on a proposal from the Interior Minister, has the authority to revoke citizenship in such cases. This also applies to individuals who acquired Kuwaiti nationality through affiliation with the original certificate holder.
Last Thursday, the Supreme Committee for Citizenship Affairs convened a meeting, chaired by the Acting Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, who also serves as the committee's chairman.

The committee decided to revoke and annul the Kuwaiti citizenship of 1,647 individuals, with plans to present their cases to the Cabinet for further review.
This brings the total number of cases to 4,601 since October 31, a span of just three weeks.
The Committee began its work in early March, when Kuwaiti authorities launched a campaign to revoke citizenships for various reasons, primarily linked to fraud.
The Kuwaiti government states that the revocation of citizenship from forgers and dual nationals is intended to "preserve national identity, ensure stability, and protect the national fabric," as well as to remove the records of individuals who obtained citizenship through illegal means.
