Yemeni ambassador to Iran, Ibrahim Mohammad Al-Dailami, has affirmed that the coming days will witness “a positive change in the foreign relations with the efforts exerted by Yemeni diplomacy.”
In an interview in Al-Thawra newspaper on Thursday, Al-Dailami pointed out that several countries want to restore their relations with Sana’a, based on different calculations and variables.
He noted that “from the first day, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been and will continue to be on the side of Yemen, its security, unity, stability, independence and its principled position against aggression and its proxies.”
The ambassador also pointed out that the decision of Sana’a to appoint an ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Iran was “courageous and bold, and naturally will raise the anger and fears of the [enemy] forces.”
Ambassador Al-Dailami stressed that the next stage will witness multiple repercussions for diplomatic representation with Tehran, represented in the appointment of a new ambassador of Iran in Sana’a and the restoration of previous agreements signed between Yemen and Iran during the past decades.
The implementation of these old agreements was previously stalled due to US-Saudi interventions and resulting war since 2015.
“[We aim to] reactivate cultural exchange, as well as promoting relief and development work, not only through the government but also through popular organizations, associations and events in Iran,” he said.
Al-Dailami furthermore revealed the desire of several countries to restore relations with Yemen and recognise the true legitimacy in Sana’a represented by the Supreme Political Council and the National Salvation Government.
He pointed out that these countries and parties proceed in their conviction of multiple calculations, and predicted that the near future “will witness further growth and development of relations with several countries and organizations, especially after the failure, corruption and illegality presented by the government of Riyadh and their miserable and totally dependent on the forces of US-Saudi aggression.”
On Britain’s provocative remarks, Al-Dailami said Britain “should change its ambassador to Yemen, and appoint another person who knows the origins of decency and considerations among countries and governments, if Britain is keen on keeping ties with a strong and united Yemen.”
