RIYADH – SABA
Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi met on Thursday with Chinese Special Envoy to the Middle East Zhai Jun and his accompanying delegation to discuss bilateral relations and regional developments.

President al-Alimi praised the strong historical relations between Yemen and China, stressing Yemen’s potential role in China’s Belt and Road Initiative and its importance in securing global trade routes.

He commended China’s support for Yemen’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, calling for a greater Chinese role in supporting Yemeni state institutions, security forces and efforts to restore state authority.

Al-Alimi reaffirmed Yemen’s support for the One-China principle and stressed that respect for state sovereignty must be the foundation for addressing international crises.

Regarding the peace process, he accused the Houthi terrorist militias of exploiting de-escalation efforts to strengthen their military capabilities and intensify attacks rather than contribute to ending the conflict.

He stressed that the core dispute with this militia is not simply about sharing power, but their insistence on maintaining weapons outside state control and claiming a divine right to rule, placing their leaders above the law and popular will.

He reiterated the government’s commitment to peace based on a constitutional state, unified security institutions, state control over weapons and equal citizenship.

The president also warned of Iranian, Lebanese and Iraqi experts supporting Houthi forces, accusing Iran of using the group as leverage against regional and international actors.

He further condemned the Houthi siege of Taiz and attacks on civilian infrastructure, describing them as war crimes and a serious test of the international community’s commitment to protecting civilians.

For his part, the Chinese envoy reaffirmed China’s support for Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council and government, emphasizing his country’s commitment to Yemen’s sovereignty, stability and peace efforts.

He also highlighted China’s continued humanitarian assistance and its willingness to support development projects aimed at easing the suffering of the Yemeni people.
