Saudi Ambassador to Yemen and Supervisor-General of the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) Mohammed Bin Saeed Al Jaber said Sunday that Saudi-American cooperation has developed the capabilities of more than 60 young professionals from various ministries in the Kingdom in the field of stabilization and containment of conflict. The training is designed to prepare and equip them with knowledge in light of current and future needs for daily work on resolving complex and aggravated issues in conflict areas, and specifically in contributing to the development of Yemen, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said Sunday. This came during a speech delivered by Al Jaber on Sunday morning made during the inauguration of the deliberations of 2nd workshop on stability. The workshop was organized by SDRPY, in the presence of US Ambassador to Yemen Christopher Henzel and a delegation from the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations of the US Department of State. SDRPY personnel and representatives of Saudi Arabia also participated. Al Jaber added that the success of the first workshop reflected the strong US-Saudi strategic partnership, which is having a very positive international impact. The workshop, which is being organized for the second time, aims to highlight the importance of stability and of exerting greater efforts at stabilization to reduce conflicts that threaten international security and impede the means of stabilization, both nationally and regionally. — SPA
