Chairman of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi held talks in Aden on Tuesday with Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed al-Jaber.

Their discussions focused on the Kingdom’s efforts to renew the truce in Yemen, ease the suffering of its people and reach a ceasefire with the aim of coming up with a comprehensive UN-mediated political solution to the conflict.

Al-Jaber conveyed to al-Alimi the greetings of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The officials tackled developments in Yemen and the economic reforms carried out by the PLC and government with the support of the Saudi-led Arab coalition.

Al-Alimi praised the Saudi efforts to extend the truce as part of its initiative to achieve peace in Yemen and meet the aspirations of the people in ending the coup by the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

He also hailed the Kingdom’s humanitarian support to Yemen through its various initiative that are being carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center and Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
