Saudi Transport Minister Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser signed an MoU with the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen to develop land, sea, and air transportation networks in the neighboring country.

The Saudi minister said the agreement will help boost the quality of life of Yemenis and the economy of the war-torn country.

“It will strengthen the infrastructure of all governorates of Yemen,” Jasser said.

He went on saying that under the deal, different projects will be carried out to link different cities of the country.

For his part, SDRPY General Supervisor Ambassador Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Jaber said the deal would contribute to upgrading the level of transport services in the country, which will have a positive impact on other vital sectors since the transport sector connects cities and governorates and links the country with the region and the world.

He commended the fruitful cooperation with the Saudi Ministry of Transport, which goes in tandem with the directives of the leadership to assist the Yemeni government in the development and reconstruction of vital sectors to improve infrastructure.

The MoU consolidates the efforts of the Saudi authorities to develop and reconstruct Yemen. It also helps improve the skills of transport professionals and provide technical and advisory support in the field of road maintenance.

Besides supporting the development of the transport sector, SDRPY also supports a number of rehabilitation projects to develop Yemeni airports and ports, including development projects for Al-Ghela Airport, Aden International Airport and Socotra Airport.

The Arab League condemned the attack on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker Al Mayeda, owned by Qatar’s Nakilat, while sailing in the Arabian Gulf, the Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday.

In a statement, the Arab League stressed that targeting commercial vessels endangers maritime navigation and the safety of crews and violates international law. It expressed solidarity with the State of Qatar and support for efforts to investigate the circumstances of the incident and identify those responsible.

The Arab League emphasized the need to respect freedom of navigation, ensure vessel safety, and protect international trade. It warned of the repercussions of repeated attacks on the security of energy supplies and market stability, as well as the potential environmental risks of targeting energy tankers.

Moreover, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi condemned in the strongest terms the attack on the tanker. He stressed that targeting energy tankers represents a dangerous escalation that undermines the security of the region and endangers lives and property and disrupts global economic activity.

The secretary general underlined that maritime corridors must remain safe for navigation and trade. He warned of the repercussions that could arise from targeting gas tankers, whether on the marine environment or the regularity of energy flows and market stability, underscoring the necessity of holding the perpetrators of this heinous attack accountable.

Furthermore, Albudaiwi emphasized the GCC's support for the measures and actions undertaken by the State of Qatar to safeguard its national capabilities, protect its properties, and confront all threats to its security and interests.
