economic assessment of the crisis, during the last year, explained the need to invest for achieving positive changes in the daily lives of the Yemenis, because the humane situation is still critical, in the light of the sufferings of millions of Yemenis, including children, women and displaced due to the deficiencies of basic services. So, the continuous commitment to effective response, is crucial to make the transitional period, a success. Despite the importance of the immediate needs, it is very important, too, that the government and the donors community should invest for early recovery and long term development. It is similarly important to guarantee macro-economic stability through checking budgetary deficit and preserving adequate levels of external reserves. We understand the efforts exerted to enhance political stability in one hand and investing in growth bound to serve the poor and human development, on the other hand, as each of them completes the other. We assert the importance of the role played by the Yemeni, regional and international civic communities, in addition to humane organizations and the private sector as well as the Yemeni government in responding to human and development needs, alike. We thank GCC member states for organizing the meetings for this groups' representatives as a part of donors' meeting, and encouraging close cooperation with this groups to follow up commitments resulted of this conference. We recognize the difficulties facing the Yemeni people and their struggle to build a better future. We declare hereby today, our full support and solidarity with the Yemeni people demands and our commitment to assist them in achieving a stable and prosperous make-up. We thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the endeavors as well as the hospitability. We emphasize the importance of taking part in the next coming meeting of the Friends of Yemen and the Donors, which will convene in New York, hopefully wished to contribute in building up on this meeting outcomes. -- SPA
