Yemeni leader lauds Saudi decision to regularize status of Yemenis in Kingdom

Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi has praised King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud’s directive to respond to the request for regularizing the status of Yemenis residing in Saudi Arabia without legal documentation, and to provide them with necessary facilities. He described the move as an extension of Saudi Arabia’s comprehensive support for Yemen, its people, and its institutions.

Al-Alimi also expressed his deep appreciation and gratitude to Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of King Salman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.

He further commended Saudi Arabia’s steadfast position and full support for the Presidential Leadership Council, the Yemeni government, and the Yemeni people, as well as its backing of the armed forces in their efforts to restore state institutions, security, and stability.

Al-Alimi noted the Saudi Cabinet, chaired by the Crown Prince, reaffirmed its full support for the Presidential Leadership Council, the government, and the Yemeni people to end the coup and restore state institutions. The Cabinet also stressed that the Houthi militias have chosen military escalation over peace and continue to threaten the region and maritime navigation in the southern Red Sea and Bab Al-Mandab Strait.
