Friends Of Yemen

EDM number 483 in 2012-13, proposed by Keith Vaz on 06/09/2012.
Categorised under the topics of International politics and government and Middle East.

That this House welcomes the course of action taken by the Friends of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, who met in Riyadh on 4 September 2012 and pledged $6.4 billion towards the stability and development of Yemen; believes the UK should take a greater part in attempts to rectify the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in Yemen, as over 50 per cent of the population live on 1.29 a day and 44 per cent are undernourished; and ultimately believes that strong ties with a stable Yemen will improve internal security and will lead to greater stability in the Middle East.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
