  Aden

His Excellency President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, President of the Presidential Leadership Council, held a meeting today, Tuesday, with the leaders of the local authority in Al-Mahra Governorate. The meeting was attended by Lieutenant General Mohsen Al-Daeri, Minister of Defense, and Engineer Salem Al-Aboudi, Minister of Public Works and Roads.

The meeting also included Mr. Salem Abdullah Nimer, the Secretary-General of the Local Council of Al-Mahra, Mr. Awad Qwaizan, the Technical Undersecretary of the Governorate, and a number of general directors of districts, offices, and executive agencies.

The session was dedicated to discussing security, military, and service conditions, as well as the necessary measures to improve the efficiency of the local authorities and support their efforts to achieve security, stability, and meet their obligations to citizens.

President Al-Alimi listened to briefings from the Minister of Defense, who is also the Head of the Supreme Security Committee, as well as the Minister of Public Works and Roads, and the Secretary-General of the Local Council. The briefings covered the overall situation in the governorate across military, security, and service sectors, and the level of progress in government- and locally-supported projects, despite the disastrous impact of terrorist Houthi attacks on oil facilities and maritime shipping vessels.

The meeting also addressed the actions and measures taken to compensate for the damages caused by the destructive waves of climate change that the governorate has suffered over recent years.

In this context, the President praised the generous developmental and humanitarian interventions by the Coalition to Support Legitimacy, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He especially acknowledged the highly valued contributions of the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen.

The President commended the efforts of Mr. Mohammed Ali Yasser, Al-Mahra Governor and the executive office in facing ongoing challenges and preserving the governorate’s legacy as a symbol of tolerance, peace, and respect for state institutions.

His Excellency also praised the role of security and military agencies in enhancing security and stability, and in combating smuggling—including the smuggling of Iranian weapons to the terrorist Houthi militias.

President Al-Alimi directed the local authority in Al-Mahra Governorate to double its efforts to strengthen the presence of the state and support the government’s vision to improve revenue and implement comprehensive reforms at all levels.

The meeting was attended by Major General Saleh Al-Muqaleh, the Director of the President’s Office.
