(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))

ADEN, 26th July, 2017 (WAM) -- Dr. Ahmed Obaid bin Daghr, Prime Minister of Yemen, has praised the generous support, in various fields, of the UAE's government and people to the liberated governorates of Yemen.

He also stressed that the UAE has made sacrifices for the freedom of the Yemeni people.

Dr. bin Daghr's made his statement on the sidelines of the signing of an agreement between the UAE and the Yemeni Ministry of Transport, in the temporary capital, Aden, regarding the operation of the local Land Transport Corporation.

The agreement with the UAE was signed by Murad Al Halimi, Yemeni Minister of Transport and Member of the Southern Transitional Council, with the attendance of Prime Minister bin Daghr and representative of the Emirates Red Crescent.

Dr. bin Daghr expressed his happiness at signing this agreement with the UAE, which will return the Land Transport Corporation to its former stature that was previously known by the Yemeni public.

He also expressed his appreciation to the UAE for continuously supporting the Yemeni people. "It is not strange for the UAE to support us with these types of initiatives," he added.

Dr. bin Daghr delivered the regards of Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, President of Yemen, to the UAE, which has strived to regain his country's legitimacy through its solidarity in the field of battle, and its support for the normalisation of life in the liberated areas of the country.

The agreement includes the delivery of commuter transport buses to continue the work of the local Land Transport Corporation, after the Yemeni Ministry of Transport presents a work plan to the UAE within 30 days, which will be followed by the widening of services of the corporation from Aden to all liberated governorates.
