The chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), Rashad al-Alimi, confirmed on Wednesday his commitment to partnership and national consensus during the transitional phase until the Houthi-waged coup is stopped.
Moreover, al-Alimi vowed a strong collective response in the face of the Houthi attacks against liberated regions and governorates in Yemen.
Al-Alimi's statements were made in a recorded speech viewed by a general meeting of the Consultation and Reconciliation Commission in Yemen’s interim capital, Aden.
The Commission concluded the recent meeting by approving three documents related to work regulations, the general framework of the political vision for the comprehensive peace process, and the principles of reconciliation between legitimate political forces and parties.
“The constitutional oath and the pledge made by the members of the PLC to our people in the north and south to proceed based on partnership and national consensus remains firm, and we will not deviate from it, whatever the challenges,” said al-Alimi.
“Today, we confirm our growing confidence in the strength of our strategic alliance and its agreement around its common goals for the transitional period,” he added.
Headed by al-Alimi, the PLC consists of eight people representing all Yemeni parties and political forces opposed to the Houthi coup.
Al-Alimi expressed his gratitude to the presidency and members of the Commission for their support of the PLC.
The chairman recalled how the Commission has long backed PLC and ensured it remained interactive and united around common goals and achieving consensus during the remainder of the transitional period.
Al-Alimi hoped that the Commission's meetings would represent an essential shift in the course of the broad national coalition against Houthi militias who are implementing a destructive Iranian project in Yemen.
He also promised to uphold “freedom, difference, and participation” principles as genuine constitutional foundations and saluted all those confronting the Houthi project in all Yemeni provinces.
