He called on the WB to ensure a state of balance between their emergency response projects and the longer term development projects.

He called on the WB to invest in supporting the main economic sectors and infrastructure which will promote comprehensive economic growth by the way of creating jobs and involving women alongside men in reconstruction.

He also called on the WN to re-open their office in the temporary capital Aden.
