In an interview with Saba, Sharaf said that measures would be taken by coming year to encourage Yemeni workers to work in the Gulf labor markets in coordination with the GCC during the period 2010-2012. He pointed out to the priorities of the government for coming two years as it would focus on modernizing administration, dealing with the problem of unemployment, improving trade activities in Aden Free Zone (AFZ) and strengthening stability and security in the nation. The deputy minister considered people - who described Yemen as collapsed country- are haters of Yemen. Yemen is like other world countries facing problems which are being tackled by the government, he said.
