Manama, Dhu-AlQa'dah 28, 1438, Aug 20, 2017, SPA -- Bahraini Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa received here today Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr. During the meeting, they reviewed the progress of the deep-rooted relations between the two brotherly countries and peoples, and ways to bolster them in various fields. Prince Khalifa asserted that defending brotherly Yemen is a duty and supporting it is a necessity, noting that it is a country with a special status among Arab states and cannot be left prey to foreign interference which, he said, is aimed at undermining its security and stability. "Yemen will be victorious in its war against foreign interference in its affairs, as well as in its rejection of being dominated by others, and in supporting its legitimacy thanks to the determination and unity of its people and support of brotherly countries, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," Prince Khalifa said. Prince Khalifa reiterated Bahrain's firm and unwavering stance in carrying out its pan-Arab and Islamic duties towards Yemen through supporting its legitimacy, protecting its sovereignty and ensuring that its people achieves its aspirations for security and stability. Prince Khalifa affirmed that Bahrain's participation in the Saudi-led Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen stems from its belief in Arab unity and in the need to counter all forms of foreign meddling that are aimed at subverting security and stability across the region, stressing that Bahrain will continue supporting Yemen and confronting everything that may undermine its security and stability. While reviewing the latest regional and global developments, Prince Khalifa and Dr. Ahmed affirmed that the region is being targeted through policies that sought to cause harm to its stability. They also agreed that the historic decision of Saudi Arabia, led by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to launch the "Operation Decisive Storm" had protected Yemen and the region against plots to spread chaos and fighting across it. --SPA 20:30 LOCAL TIME 17:30 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w470099
