Al-Alimi expressed his wishes for Cubans´ health, happiness, progress and prosperity, whom he described as excellent friends, while praising cooperation between the two countries and forecast a strengthening of bilateral relations for near future.

Cuba and Yemen celebrated in 2022 half a century of establishment of bilateral relations, based on friendship and solidarity even in the most difficult circumstances.

Cuban-Yemeni collaboration has been proved in diverse fields, particularly in education and health. Thousands of Yemeni young people have studied in and graduated from Cuban educational centers since 70s.

Likewise, Cuban education and health professionals have made their contribution as collaborators in Yemen and founded the faculty of medicine at the University of Aden, a fact considered as the first internationalist teaching collaboration of the Cuban Revolution.

At this moment, as Yemen is facing up a serious war conflict and suffering consequences of a humanitarian crisis, it continues to count on Cuba’s solidarity and support.
