RIYADH – SABA
His Excellency President Dr. Rashad al-Alimi, the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, met Thursday with the Speaker of the Parliament Sheikh Sultan al-Barakani and members of the Parliament,s Presidency Mohammed al-Shaddadi and Mohsen Basurah to consult on national developments.

These included the situation in the eastern governorates and efforts to contain its political, economic, and service-related repercussions in the country.

During the meeting, President al-Alimi discussed the positive efforts of the brothers in the Coalition to Support Legitimacy, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, aimed at de-escalation and restoring normal conditions in Hadhramout and al-Mahrah to their previous state.

He highlighted the Kingdom’s pivotal role in leading a responsible path toward calm, which includes the withdrawal of forces coming from outside the eastern governorates and empowering their local populations to manage their own affairs.

The President also briefed the leadership of the Parliament on the outcomes of communications at the local, regional and international levels to contain escalation, protect the existing national consensus, and keep focus on the battle to restore state institutions and end the coup by the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

President al-Alimi praised the Parliament's firm stance rejecting any unilateral measures or military movements outside the framework of national consensus and the governing references of the transitional phase led by the Declaration of the Transfer of Power and the Riyadh Agreement.

He reaffirmed the state’s steadfast position on the Southern Issue, considering it a just national cause and an integral part of any comprehensive solution within any future political settlement.

The meeting welcomed the statements of the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and the UN’s supportive position toward de-escalation efforts, respect for the state’s exclusive authority to enforce the rule of law and warnings about the dangers of tensions to livelihoods, social peace and regional security.
