Kuwait plans to name ambassador to Yemen
KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait – Kuwait has said that it plans to appoint an ambassador and a project coordinator in war-torn Yemen.
Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah held talks with the head of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi.
During their meeting, the crown prince underlined Kuwait’s support to the Saudi-led coalition to establish security and stability in Yemen and to UN efforts aimed at resolving the Yemeni conflict.
Al-Alimi arrived in Kuwait on June 6 for talks with officials in the oil-rich Gulf country. He is also scheduled to visit Qatar, Bahrain and Egypt as part of his tour.
Last week, Yemen’s warring rivals agreed to extend a UN-brokered truce for additional two months. Under the truce, all military operations were halted. The agreement also allowed the operation of commercial flights from rebel-held Sanaa Airport in the Yemeni capital.
Yemen has been engulfed by violence and instability since September 2014. The eight-year conflict has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions suffering from hunger.
