The two sides also reviewed developments related to the stranded Safer tanker, and in this context, Bin Mubarak expressed the Yemeni government's appreciation for the Netherlands' contribution to finding a settlement for this issue in order to avoid an environmental disaster that might affect Yemen and the region and cause obstruction of international navigation in the Red Sea.
