Yemen Transport Infrastructure to Get a Boost with Saudi Support

The Ministry of Transport and the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) has signed a memorandum of cooperation to develop the land, sea and air transport sector in the Republic of Yemen and improve roads in Yemeni cities.

The memorandum of cooperation was signed by the Saudi Minister of Transport Saleh Bin Nasser Al-Jasser and SDRPY Supervisor General Ambassador Mohammed Bin Saeed Al-Jaber.

The agreement is part of SDRPY efforts to develop and support civic services and vital sectors in Yemen.

Al-Jasser said the agreement would help achieve the livelihood and economic balance of Yemeni citizens and improve the quality of life through infrastructure development projects and programs.

He hoped that the agreement will achieve its desired objectives by connecting cities and governorates in the country and developing the transport sector.
