Yemeni president to visit Germany and Saudi Arabia

Yemeni official sources said that the Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh will officially visit Germany in June.

The sources said that Saleh will hold discussions with the German advisor Gerhard Schroeder and with heads of the German political parties as well as with the high-ranking officials concerning bilateral relations and means of supporting development cooperation as well as increasing the German support to Yemen.

Yemen currently receives 100 million Marc annually in aid. The sources added that Saleh will also visit Saudi Arabia after Germany which is considered his first visit in 4 years and that it comes in light of the noticeable ease in relation between the two countries who have border disputes.

The source said that the border demarcation talks of the joint borders will top the discussions between Saleh and King Fahd Bin Abd El-Aziz of Saudi Arabia.
