Yemen National Unity Day, 22nd May 2006

That this House congratulates the Republic of Yemen on its 16th anniversary of independence on 22nd May 2006; notes that British-Yemeni diplomatic relations are excellent and that British support for structural reform in Yemen is welcome and widespread; further notes however that Yemen remains one of the poorest countries in the Middle East and that comparatively little financial support is given from the UK and the EU in relation to other countries; and urges the Government to increase its aid to Yemen to enable satisfactory reform to take place.
