In its meeting, the administrative body commended the grand success of the million-person celebrative event, themed “Identity of the South,” hosted by the city of Seiyun in the Hadhramaut Valley. The event conveyed significant messages to the region and the world, foremost of which is that the proud people of the South will not relinquish their right to restore their fully sovereign state.
In a related context, the body has commended the political efforts of the STC’s leadership at both the domestic and international levels, as it can be evidenced by hosting a number of international delegations to discuss arrangements for reopening their embassies in the capital, Aden, reflecting the clear security and stability enjoyed by the capital and the rest of the governorates of the South.
