Mujalli explained that the Presidential Leadership Council is focused on supporting the government in restoring its role and effective presence on the ground, benefiting from the significant opportunity for the success of the government of Dr. Shaya Zindani.

He noted that the government has been granted full powers to address financial and economic conditions, improve services.

The government includes highly qualified leadership and administrative expertise.

It also enjoys sponsorship and support from the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in various fields affecting the lives of Yemeni citizens.

For his part, U.S. Ambassador Steven Fagin praised the cooperation shown by the Presidential Leadership Council in combating terrorism, strengthening the role of the Coast Guard to fight smuggling and piracy.

He pointed out to supporting the government if Yemen in implementing economic reform plans and creating new opportunities that match the aspirations of the Yemeni people in all governorates.
