The sides also discussed the latest developments concerning unconditional cash transfer programs, stressing the importance of resuming support for beneficiary families and addressing cases where assistance has been suspended.

The meeting emphasized the importance of relocating the offices of UN organizations and agencies to Aden and the need to establish a clear timetable for completing the relocation process, in order to facilitate their operations, strengthen coordination, and ensure direct access to government authorities.

Both sides affirmed the importance of continuing dialogue and joint coordination to improve the efficiency of aid and enhance its developmental and humanitarian impact in Yemen.
