Yemeni capital seeks to benefit from Swedish development experience

Secretary General of the Capital Local Council Amin Joman on Tuesday discussed with Swedish nonresident ambassador to Yemen Dag Juhlin Dannfelt the possibility to benefit from the Swedish experiences in the comprehensive development field. During the meeting, Joman reviewed the different challenges hindering the process of construction and development, saying that they would be overcome through carrying out service and infrastructure rehabilitation projects, such as roads, bridges, water and sanitation to ensure the basic services access to the whole citizens of the capital. He pointed that the capital's development rate reaches between 35 - 40% via the central government funds and the donors' grants and loans to implement many different projects in development areas. Swedish ambassador accented his country's keenness to support the stability and comprehensive development in Yemen, valuing the efforts of the capital local authority's leadership in triggering the development process in various sectors.
