His Excellency President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, with Mr. Faraj Al-Bahsani, member of PLC and the accompanying delegation held a session of official talks with the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, at the start of the presidential visit program to the headquarters of the European Union in the friendly Kingdom of Belgium today, Wednesday in Brussels.

 

 President of the European Council welcomed the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council and his accompanying delegation, stressing the importance of the visit in strengthening bilateral relations and joint coordination between the two sides at various levels.

 

President of the EU, Mr. Michel also affirmed the European Union's commitment to supporting the Presidential Leadership Council, the government, and the Yemeni people. He also confirmed the EU’s openness to the broad political and economic partnership between the two sides, and supporting all efforts aimed at achieving peace, stability, and alleviating the worst human suffering in the world.

 

During the meeting, the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, on his behalf and the members of the Council, expressed his gratitude for the European position in supporting the Yemeni issue, stressing the importance of doubling the pressure in order to push the Houthi terrorist militias to deal seriously with the good offices to establish peace and stability in Yemen and punishing them along with their Iranian supporters who send more shipments of Internationally prohibited weapons.

 

The President noted the importance of the broad partnership with the European Union, including strengthening its financing interventions to ensure the transition from relief and humanitarian support to development and economic aspects that would sustain the impact of those interventions in various sectors.

 

In this context, His Excellency the President stressed the importance of pushing the European Union towards pumping funds approved for international organizations through the Central Bank of Yemen, in a way that contributes to strengthening the position of the national currency, and ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches its beneficiaries in various parts of the country.

 

The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council renewed the Council's commitment to the comprehensive and just peace approach, expressing his aspiration that the ongoing efforts by brothers and friends lead to the restoration of the political process that guarantees the participation of all Yemenis, women and men, in power and wealth, building a State of equal citizenship and the rule of law.

 

The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council praised the European steps to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the terrorist list, given its subversive projects in the region that threaten international peace and security.

 

 

The meeting was attended by Director of the Office of the Presidency of the Republic, Dr. Yahya Al-Shuaibi, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Ahmed bin Mubarak, and the Ambassador of Yemen to the Kingdom of Belgium and the European Union, Mohammed Taha Mustafa.
