Yemen government in talks with DP World to repair Port of Aden

Senior Yemeni government officials have met with container terminal operator DP World to discuss bilateral collaboration and the restoration of operations at the government-controlled Port of Aden, which has been affected by the country’s ongoing conflict.

Yemen transport minister, Badr Mubarak Ba-Salma, led a delegation which spoke to Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of DP World, and other senior officials about rebuilding the country’s economy.

Sulayem said: “We are exploring areas where we can help our near neighbours in their initiatives to restore critical marine and trade infrastructure at Aden and look forward to developing our discussions in the immediate future.”
