According to the statement, during the meeting, the political and military dossier was discussed, the repercussions resulting from the humanitarian crisis and the emergence of the new Coronavirus.
"Al-Zubaidi talked about the council's vision to form a new government, divided equally between the transitional and the Yemeni legitimacy under the Riyadh agreement, and urgently, to undertake the tasks of handling the files that affect the lives of citizens, as well as following up the implementation of any other agreements."
At the same time, Al-Zubaidi appreciated the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to establish peace, stressing the need to accept the principle of partnership, and that the attempt of legitimacy to evade this principle will not work, recalling in this regard the attacks by terrorist groups in Abyan
