SANAA, Sept. 30 (YPA) – Head of the Supervisory Committee for the Urgent Maintenance and Comprehensive Assessment of the Safer Reservoir Ibrahim Al-Siraji met on Thursday with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)’s Resident Representative, Auke Lootsma.

The two sides discussed the current status of the Safer floating reservoir and possible proposals to address its situation to prevent an environmental disaster in the Red Sea.

In the meeting, Al-Siraji reviewed the reasons that still delay the agreement implementation, calling on the United Nations to carry out its responsibility seriously to remove the existing obstacles and reach the optimal and practical solution to avoid a potential disaster.

He affirmed that the Supreme Political Council is keen on the marine environment of the Red Sea and to provide all necessary facilities, which would lead to eliminating the possibility of its exposure to the risk of oil spills.

For his part, Lootsma said that the United Nations would work to remove the existing obstacles to prevent any disaster that might affect the Red Sea environment.
