DUBAI: Yemen’s internationally recognized leadership convened key political figures in Riyadh on Wednesday to rally support for a unified national strategy to shape the country’s postwar transition and rebuild state institutions after nearly a decade of conflict.
Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, President Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, met with leaders of the National Bloc of Political Parties — a coalition of major political groups — to discuss how best to coordinate efforts during the transitional period. The meeting was part of consultations with political forces throughout Yemen to prepare for what officials describe as a pivotal phase in the country’s recovery.
The PLC, formed in 2022 to unify anti-Houthi factions and guide the country toward peace, is working to restore state authority in areas under government control while countering the influence of the Houthis, who continue to dominate much of northern Yemen.
During the meeting, the president called for a renewed sense of unity among Yemen’s political forces, urging them to set aside divisions and work together to restore stability, deliver basic services and lay the foundation for long-term governance.
“This is a moment for collective leadership and national alignment,” he said, stressing the importance of shared responsibility in rebuilding the state.
The national bloc reaffirmed its commitment to the PLC’s vision, presenting a political roadmap focused on national cohesion, economic recovery and effective governance in liberated areas. The group also underlined the importance of alleviating humanitarian suffering and accelerating institutional reforms.
