For his part, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Mohammed al-Hashemi referred to the secret objective of the aggression on Yemen by the US-backed Saudi-led coalition, which is to control Yemen's location and its capabilities.

Al-Hashemi explained that the coalition countries have sought to prevent the growth and success of any project to achieve independence and advancement, as well as the prevention of building a strong modern Yemeni state with sovereignty over its location and resources.

Head of the Yemeni Club for Coordinating with BRICS Countries Ali Ishaq said that the declaration of the Silk Road Youth project is one of the club's initiatives as a civil society organization on the economy.

Ishaq affirmed that "the aggression on Yemen comes within an international and regional context to expand the political, military and economic influence and control over the ports, coasts and important waterways in the region through the occupation of Yemeni islands and commercial and oil ports after they were destroyed."
