Both sides also agreed on the importance of reactivating the Yemeni-Chinese Joint Committee for Economic and Technical Cooperation as an institutional framework to coordinate bilateral cooperation and enhance direct communication with China International Development Cooperation Agency.

She affirmed that Yemen views China as an important development and strategic partner, noting that the ministry is ready to coordinate all aspects of cooperation with the Chinese side.

He also noted that China has granted full customs duty exemption for all Yemeni products exported to China, which will enhance trade exchange and open new opportunities for Yemeni exporters.

The Chargé d'Affaires pointed out that this year marks the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and that China will host the Second Arab-Chinese Summit, expressing his hope for high-level Yemeni participation.

He reaffirmed China’s continued support for Yemen through reconstruction assistance and the expansion of scholarship and training programs in technology, medicine, agriculture, and public administration.
