FM in Sanaa receives credentials of IOM new representative in Yemen

SANAA, Oct. 23 (YPA) – The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sanaa government, Jamal Ahmed Amer, received the credentials of the new representative of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to the Republic of Yemen on Sunday.

During the meeting, Minister Amer welcomed the new head of the IOM mission, Abdusattor Esoev, expressing hope for overcoming the challenges faced in the previous phase.

Amer emphasized the ministry’s commitment to ensure all types of support and facilitation for the organization’s activities focused on migrants and internally displaced individuals.

He expressed his hopes that the head of the IOM mission would strengthen efforts to boost the number of humanitarian projects, particularly those addressing the needs of those displaced by conflict and the recent floods in the country.

He also emphasized the importance of reinstating the voluntary humanitarian return program for undocumented migrants in Yemen and boosting the number of repatriation flights. Their presence poses challenges to local communities and places an additional burden on the government, highlighting the need for the international community and the IOM to take responsibility in this matter.

For his part, the IOM mission head expressed his happiness to work in the Republic of Yemen, looking forward to further cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and the Yemeni government in Sanaa.
