According to Saudi Press Agency, Al-Alimi thanked the Kingdom's leadership, represented by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for the continued support of the Yemeni people.
