This came during the participation of Her Excellency Noura Al Kaabi, Minister of State, in the donor conference organized by the Kingdom of Sweden and the Swiss Confederation, in cooperation with the United Nations in Geneva, to mobilize support for the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for Yemen. Also in attendance were the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres; the Head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of the Swiss Confederation, His Excellency Ignazio Cassis; and the Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, His Excellency Johan Forssell, as well as numerous donor countries and international humanitarian organizations.
Her Excellency Al Kaabi affirmed the UAE’s commitment to assisting the Yemeni people, stating that since 2015, the UAE has provided Yemen with a total of USD 6.6 billion in aid and a USD 300 million deposit to bolster the local currency. Continuing this approach, and in addition to multilateral peace and development efforts in Yemen, the UAE is also supporting reconstruction and rehabilitation projects this year with approximately USD 325 million to improve the healthcare, renewable energy, and agriculture sectors, including a major project to build a dam for irrigation purposes.
Her Excellency Al Kaabi added: "The UAE welcomes ongoing negotiations to press the Houthi militias to show the required flexibility to ensure the success of the peace process. We thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its continued humanitarian assistance and efforts to advance the political process in Yemen.”
Her Excellency concluded by stressing that the UAE believes that the time has come to shift our focus from managing the conflict to finding a solution to it, starting with renewing the truce and alleviating the humanitarian conditions experienced by the people of Yemen and the catastrophic consequences of the war. In this vein, Her Excellency noted the importance of transitioning from emergency relief to recovery in order to foster sustainable development in Yemen.
