Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik revealed on Saturday that the next government will usher in a host of economic reforms that will be implemented in cooperation with the country’s partners.
Abdulmalik added that corruption in state institutions will be dealt with strictly.
He noted that the coming period will be difficult as he revealed that a mini-technocrat government will be announced this week.
The challenges will be huge but it is not impossible for the new government to overcome, he said during a meeting with French ambassador to Yemen, Jean-Marie Safa.
The mission to save the national economy, put an end to the depreciation of the national currency, complete the restoration of the state and build its institutions and alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people across the country without exceptions will be the top priority, Abdulmalik said.
The new government has a package of reforms which it will carry out with support from partners and friends of Yemen in the fields of development, economy and finance as well as measures to fight corruption and enhance accountability, he stressed.
The PM accused the Iran-backed Houthi militias of deepening the humanitarian crisis through refusing all proposed solutions to resolve economic crises and the military escalation.
Talks with the French diplomat tackled recent developments in Yemen and France’s continued support of state institutions and the Yemeni people. The officials also discussed priorities for the upcoming period and areas of cooperation between Yemen and France.
Abdulmalik touched on the advanced steps that have been achieved in implementing the Riyadh Agreement on the military, security and political levels, as well as the consensus between the political stakeholders to announce a Yemeni cabinet in the coming days.
Talks also went over the repeated Houthi targeted attacks on civilians in clear and flagrant rejection of the political solution.
