EU diplomatic delegation arrives in Yemen’s Aden

Aden, Feb 7 : A high-level delegation of European Union (EU) ambassadors to Yemen arrived in Aden, almost two months after the port city’s airport was hit by deadly bombings, a government official has confirmed.
“The EU’s ambassadors to Yemen along with high-ranking diplomatic officials arrived at Aden’s International Airport on their first visit to the country’s temporary capital of Aden,” the official told Xinhua news agency on Saturday.
The EU delegation was instantly accompanied by armoured vehicles and headed to the presidential compound where the new power-sharing government is based, the official said.
It is scheduled that the EU’s delegation will discuss a number of issues with the Yemeni government, including the situation in the government-controlled provinces and the progress of implementing the Riyadh deal.
On Wednesday, an international team comprising senior experts arrived in Aden to investigate the bombings.
At least 22 people were killed and some 50 others injured after three massive explosions struck the airport on December 30 just minutes after the arrival of members of a new power-sharing government from Saudi Arabia.
