His Excellency President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, President of the Presidential Leadership Council, received today, Monday, Mr. Gabriel Munera Viñales, the Head of the European Union Mission to Yemen and Mr. Hubert Geiger, the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Yemen.

The meeting touched upon local developments, and the European humanitarian and development interventions required to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people caused by the terrorist Houthi militias supported by the Iranian regime, in addition to developments in the region and a number of issues of common concern.

The President of the Presidential Leadership Council praised the distinguished relationships with the European Union countries, their steadfast positions alongside the Yemeni people, and their aspirations to restore state institutions, security, peace and development.

The President of the Presidential Leadership Council briefed the two European ambassadors on developments in the national situation, including the repercussions of the Israeli aggression on Yemeni territory, and the terrorist Houthi militia’s attacks on oil installations, maritime cargo ships, and global commercial ships.

The President renewed his urging to the international community to hold its responsibilities towards the Israeli-Iranian arrogance and their efforts to plunge the countries of the region into a cycle of violence and chaos, turning it into a theater for liquidating the just causes of the peoples of the region. Furthermore, His Excellency urged the international community to implement the resolutions of international legitimacy, including the resolution to ban Iranian weapons, and activate the UN oversight mechanisms covered by those resolutions. 

The President of the Presidential Leadership Council affirmed the commitment of the Council and the government for a comprehensive and just peace based on the terms of reference agreed upon nationally, regionally, and internationally, in particular Resolution 2216. He also affirmed in this context full support for the efforts of the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, and the United Nations Special Envoy for launching a comprehensive political process that meets the aspirations of all Yemenis to build their national state that guarantees rights, freedoms and equal citizenship.
