Sana’a – Saba:
A meeting was held in Sana’a today, chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Jamal Amer, and attended by the leadership of the political and consular sectors.
The meeting discussed diplomatic and administrative issues, focusing on elevating the level of political engagement to confront aggression through a strong diplomatic front. Diplomacy, it was noted, should serve as a solid support and complement to the armed forces led by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, which have proven to be a deterrent force and an unignorable strategic actor. This strength has granted Yemen’s political role increased effectiveness in negotiations and consultations with various international powers to confront military escalation.
Minister Amer stressed that the diplomatic front must exhibit the same strength and clarity as the Yemeni armed forces.
He stated:
“The next stage does not allow for half-solutions or neutrality. One must choose either the national liberation path that rejects hegemony and foreign dependency, or align with those who have betrayed their homeland and become mere tools and mercenaries for regional and international powers of dominance.”
He emphasized the need to keep pace with the current transformative stage, which leaves no room for ambiguity or indecision.
Amer reiterated:
“Sana’a clearly declares that peace is its strategic choice and war is the exception,”
affirming Yemen’s readiness to confront any imposed aggression.
The minister praised the growing military capability and the popular unity around the leadership, stressing the continued role of the diplomatic front in defending Yemen’s grievances and those of the Palestinian people in Gaza on the international stage.
Regarding the Red Sea situation, Amer affirmed Sana’a’s clear and unwavering stance. He underscored Yemen’s commitment to the safety and security of international maritime navigation in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Suez Canal.
He clarified that the decision to prevent the passage of Israeli ships is a temporary measure, directly linked to ending the aggression on Gaza and allowing unrestricted humanitarian aid. He described this stance as humanitarian, religious, and moral, especially in light of international and regional silence on the Zionist crimes in Gaza.
The minister also called for continued efforts to develop and improve diplomatic performance in line with local, regional, and global developments.
He announced the completion of procedures to adopt the financial bylaw for the diplomatic corps, in accordance with Law No. (5) amending certain provisions of the Diplomatic Corps Law, which is supported by the President of the Supreme Political Council.
Participants in the meeting affirmed their commitment to keeping pace with ongoing developments and standing by the leadership until victory and stability are achieved.
Several issues related to strengthening diplomatic efforts and countering external conspiracies were discussed during the meeting.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Minister for Financial and Administrative Affairs, Ambassador Mohammed Hajer, as well as heads of departments and general directors from the political and consular sectors of the ministry.
