          Asharq Al-Awsat said that the Yemeni Foreign Minister Abdulmalek al-Mekhlafi hailed on Tuesday the Saudi-led Arab coalition that is combating militants in his country, saying that it has thwarted Iran’s ambitions.


          He said: “The coalition has prevent Tehran from expanding its influence in Yemen.”

          He made his remarks during a meeting with heads of Arab diplomatic missions in Algeria, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

          Mekhlafi said that the cooperation between various Arab forces in the coalition have helped liberate 80 percent of Yemeni territories from the clutches of the coup militias.

          The Yemeni people refuse to be governed by various militias that are being controlled by regional powers that seek to target Arab national security, continued the minister.

          The Yemeni government is acting responsibly towards its people and it seeks to achieve real and sustainable peace, he stressed.

          The militias on the other hand, do not recognize any commitments or responsibilities towards the people and they do not care for their suffering, Mekhlafi added.
