Yemen’s Minister of Information Moammar Al-Eryani has said he appreciates Saudi Arabia’s constructive stance toward his country’s government, and its support of the Yemeni people.

He stated his thanks for the second installment of the Kingdom’s grant to support the state’s general budget, amounting to $250 million, and its transfer to the central bank in the temporary capital Aden, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday, citing the official Yemen News Agency.

Al-Eryani said: “This support will contribute to supporting the efforts of the Yemeni government to normalize the situation, and enable it to carry out its responsibilities, including paying the salaries of state employees, recovering the national economy, restoring it to its balance, and stabilizing the national currency.

“This step comes in the context of the continuous support that the Kingdom provides to Yemen through grants, bank deposits, grants of oil derivatives, and development projects and initiatives implemented by the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen, and the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.”

The minister also gave his appreciation for the generous and unlimited support provided by the Kingdom under the leadership of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

He added: “The support is an expression of the firm position in support of the Presidential Leadership Council and the legitimate government in the country.”
