DUBAI: A delegation of senior Government officials from Yemen has visited the UAE and Dubai to discuss areas of mutual cooperation to support rebuilding of the country’s economy.
Headed by Yemen Transport Minister, HE Badr Mubarak Ba-Salma, the delegation was welcomed by HE Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of DP World and other senior officials to explore bilateral collaboration and the restoration of operations at the Port of Aden.
HE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of DP World, said: “We have a close bond with Yemen, with long standing historical and trading ties. It is our honour to offer our advice and expertise in global ports and logistics to contribute to the Government of Yemen’s efforts to rebuild their economy. We are exploring areas where we can help our near neighbours in their initiatives to restore critical marine and trade infrastructure at Aden and look forward to developing our discussions in the immediate future.”
A management team from DP World and Jebel Ali FreeZone (JAFZA) will visit Yemen next week to continue the dialogue, review developments in the country and establish areas where assistance can be provided for the benefit of the people of Yemen.
