RIYADH - SABA
Vice President of the Republic (Lt Gen) Ali Mohsen Saleh met Monday with French Ambassador to the Republic of Yemen Christian Testu to bid farewell as Mr. Testu's tenure has expired now.

The Vice President voiced his appreciation for the efforts that Mr. Testu exerted during his mission to further boost Yemeni-French bilateral relations and cooperation.

He also expressed thanks to the Republic of France's support for the legitimate Yemeni government against Iran-backed theocratic Houthi militia's coup.

The Vice President touched upon the difficult humanitarian situations created by Iran-allied Houthi militia's coup, war, and rejection to come to peace.

He reiterated the government's keenness to opt for permanent peace that is based on the three terms of reference including the GCC's Imitative, outcomes of National Dialogue and the UNSCR 2216.

Mohsen also talked about Riyadh Agreement and the underway efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to put it in place.

The French Ambassador confirmed his country's support to the legitimate Yemeni government and the UN-led peace efforts.
