Efforts aimed at reinforcing security and stability in Yemen and the region were also discussed.
Al-Subaihi praised the United States’ supportive positions to the government of Yemen and its political leadership, as well as its role in deterring terrorist threats posed by the Houthi militias backed by the Iranian regime and the risks these threats pose to regional security and international navigation.
He also reviewed the government’s efforts to implement economic, administrative, and financial reform programs, including the approval of the draft state budget and the government program.

For his part, the US Ambassador reiterated his country’s support for the Presidential Leadership Council and the government.
He confirmed the United States’ commitment to continuing coordination with regional and international partners to support reform efforts and fulfill the aspirations of the Yemeni people to restore state institutions, security, stability and development.
