AP approves resolution appraising 'pores' mine clearance project in Yemen
The Arab Parliament (AP) has voted in favor of a
resolution valuing the Saudi project of "pores" which aims at
removing mines in Yemen.
The project was launched by King Salman Center for
Humanitarian Aid and Works.
The AP called on the UN to take all urgent and
practical measures meant to make Yemen free from mines.
Speaker of the Arab Parliament Meshaal bin Fahm al
Salami said in a statement on Thursday that during its general session, the AP
lauded the "pores" project which aims to rid Yemen of all types of
mines that were planted by the Houthi militias.
In its resolution, the AP expressed appreciation for
Saudi Arabia for launching such a humanitarian initiative aiming to preserve
lives of civilians in Yemen from the risks of the internationally-banned mines,
Salami noted.
It asserted that the "pores" project comes
in continuation of Saudi Arabia's efforts to support the people of Yemen and
reflects its effective global humanitarian role, according to Salami.
The project aims at demining the Yemeni territories
and training Yemeni human cadres on mine clearance work, he said.
