Polish-Yemeni political consultations
28.09.2021
- Poland supports Yemen’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. It is necessary to work towards a sustainable political solution. Therefore, we are calling on all parties to engage constructively in this process under the auspices of the UN, to cease all hostilities, and stop the violence, said Deputy Minister Paweł Jabłoński during Polish-Yemeni political consultations held in Warsaw on 28 September 2021.
The consultations offered an opportunity to review the two countries’ bilateral relations and discuss prospects for cooperation in various areas. The deputy head of Polish diplomacy reaffirmed Poland’s continued commitment to provide assistance to Yemen, as the country struggles with a humanitarian crisis that is considered to be one of the most serious in the world.
We have been present in the Middle East for many years, engaging in humanitarian and development projects. Yemen has always been one of our priorities. The MFA provides support for Yemeni people in cooperation with international entities and Polish non-governmental organisations. Over the last four years alone, Poland has donated approximately PLN 6 million for Yemen through various channels, added Deputy Minister Jabłoński.
The two countries’ deputy foreign ministers also discussed cooperation opportunities within international organisations, particularly in terms of the United Nations-led peace process for Yemen. Moreover, the talks covered the current situation in the Middle East as well as challenges facing the region.
