PM: The meeting with Russian side stems from intersection of common interests

SANAA, Aug. 14 (YPA) – Yemen’s Prime Minister, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, has affirmed  that the head of the national delegation Mohammed Abdulsalam’s meeting with the Russian side stems from the intersection of common interests, pointing out that the outcomes of the visit are important for the two countries.

“Yemen has received many messages and communications from a number of countries, and the invitation that we received from Moscow is an indication of the changing situation,” Bin Habtoor said in a statement to Almasirah.

“We meet with the Russian Federation in the face of the American project, from which many countries of the world are affected,” he added, noting that “our dispute with the American policy has been announced since the first day.”

He explained that Yemen is seeking to combine friendship and alliance with Russia and China, saying, “We are keen to have allies in the world from a position of equals and common interests and to confront common enemies.”

Meanwhile, Bin Habtoor stressed that the false legitimacy supported by the US and Saudi Arabia is just a cover for looting and stealing Yemeni wealth to Saudi banks.

The Prime Minister indicated that the Yemeni growing military force will become a guarantee of peace for the region in the event of stopping the aggression, lifting the siege and recognizing the rights of the Yemeni people. He stressed that it is a force directed against the Saudi-led aggression if they refuse to stop the war and lift the siege.
