ADEN – The Saudi-led Arab Coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen emphasized on Thursday that they have no self-interest in Yemen and that their goal is to ensure security and stability of Yemen and help preserve its sovereignty. The coalition said this in a statement following the visit of a high-ranking military delegation from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in Aden to enforce the coalition’s calls for a ceasefire between the warring sides, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The statement noted that the situation in Aden is stable and that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are a united front and have the same goal which is for Yemen to remain a stable, peaceful and legitimate country, able to develop and flourish.
The delegation’s leaders met with concerned parties, reiterating the importance of maintaining the ceasefire and peace in Aden, and to focus on ridding Yemen of the Iran-backed Houthi militia. The delegation stressed that Saudi Arabia and the UAE have no personal interest in Yemen, and that the main objective is the political and social stability of the country. This is why putting a halt to the fighting is important as the current situation is a disservice to the coalition’s mission of liberating Yemen.
