At the beginning of the meeting, Al-Zabeedi welcomed the delegation, which included the Dean of the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank Group, stressing the importance of having a representation of the World Bank in the temporary capital Aden, as it is one of the most prominent international partners that had and still has a prominent role in development and humanitarian support for our country.
