Al-Aradah also stressed the importance of addressing humanitarian and economic issues alongside political, military, and security matters.

They confirmed that their visit was aimed at listening to official perspectives on the political, military, and security tracks to enhance the Special Envoy’s efforts to bridge viewpoints and contribute to stability in Yemen.
