Chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi stressed that Saudi Arabia’s latest grant to his country reflects its continued support of Yemen and its people. 

Saudi Arabia provided Yemen with an urgent grant of oil derivatives worth $150 million to cover the operation of power plants running on diesel fuel and mazout throughout the country. 

Al-Alimi said the support, provided under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, demonstrates the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting the aspirations of Yemenis for security, stability, and development. 

Al-Alimi expressed his gratitude to the Saudi leadership, government, and people for the grant aimed at operating power plants and alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people. 

The Yemeni government welcomed the grant, saying it reflects the deep historical ties and shared destiny between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, reported the Saba news agency. 

It also underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting the Yemeni people and alleviating their humanitarian and economic suffering. 

The government stressed that Saudi Arabia’s sincere positions toward Yemen have not been limited to humanitarian and relief aspects but have also extended to supporting development, stability, and economic reform efforts, as well as strengthening the capacity of state institutions to meet obligations toward citizens.  

This reflects Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in supporting Yemen’s security and stability, it added. 

It praised the vital role played by the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) in implementing strategic, service, and development projects across various sectors, describing the program as an effective model of sustainable fraternal and development partnership.

The separate meetings discussed security cooperation and coordination between their countries. The ministers also reviewed several issues of mutual interest.

The Jordanian and Malaysian ministers praised the capabilities and integrated services provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to serve Hajj pilgrims.

Also on Thursday, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud reviewed the workflow at several health facilities operated by the Ministry of Interior’s medical services at the holy sites.

He inspected the Ministry of Interior Medical Services Clinics Complex and reviewed its specialized medical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory clinics, in addition to critical-care units and support services operating within the healthcare system provided to pilgrims under the supervision of specialized medical, technical, and administrative personnel.

The minister viewed a visual presentation highlighting the efforts of the ministry’s medical services during the Hajj season, the healthcare-provider network, field and seasonal teams and clinics, as well as hospitals and medical centers operating in Makkah, Madinah, and the holy sites.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud further reviewed the Medical Services Command and Control Center during the Hajj and its real-time monitoring capabilities for health-facility readiness, case movement, deployment of field teams, and operational-performance indicators. The capabilities support rapid decision-making and boost the efficiency of field medical response.
