Yemen's Minister of Local Administration Ali Al-Yazidi on Thursday commended the support by the State of Kuwait to comprehensive and sustainable development in his country.
In a meeting with the Kuwaiti Charge d'Affaires in Sanaa Shukri Nasser Al-Sherim, Al-Yazidi highlighted the bilateral relations and "the leading and important role of Kuwait in support of the development and educational projects nationwide" topped with the University of Sanaa and the Faculty of Medicine.
"Besides, Kuwait financed the building of hundreds of schools, institutes and hospitals," he said, noting that Kuwait "has been a beacon of Arab culture, national tide and enlightenment." The minister also stressed the country's pioneering role in the field of municipal councils and the importance of benefiting from its experience, especially that Yemen is witnessing a significant political transformation towards the federal system.
For his part, Al-Sherim underlined the importance of boosting cooperation between the Kuwaiti ministries and other official bodies and their counterparts in Yemen.
He said the embassy is ready to organize visits for the ministry's officials and cadres to Kuwait, so that they can benefit from the country's expertise in the fields of legislations and training and rehabilitation.
