The President confirmed his pride in the 70-year history of Yemeni-Chinese relations, noting that these relations between the two friendly peoples extend to a long history beyond their modern political roots.
The Chairman of the PLC greatly valued China's firm positions in supporting Yemen's unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity. He asserted that Yemen, due to its strategic location, is an important partner within the Belt and Road Initiative.
