SANA'A, July 31 (Saba)- President Ali
Abdullah Saleh attended on Saturday a ceremony on Day of Education and rewarding
exemplary
graduates from different Yemeni universities.
In the opening session of the ceremony, president Saleh highlighted efforts of the
ministry of higher education and leaderships of Yemeni universities in qualifying
Yemeni
students, welcoming new graduates to the labor market.
He urged the graduates to avoid corrupted money and to work with clean hands to
serve their nation, pointing out to the current corruption committed by people who
are in
and out of the power.
Moreover, president Saleh affirmed that the Yemeni unification is very strong,
saying that the rebel group in Saada province and outlaw elements in some districts
of southern
eastern provinces are few.
The serious worry is terrorism and terror acts committed by al-Qaeda which harm
investment in the country, he added.
He called on all to gather efforts to face terrorism, rebellion, and outlaw
elements, saying that all facilities would be provided for investors based on the
Yemeni Law
of Investment.
President Saleh also called on neighboring and friendly countries to do further
investments in the country not pump up money for the state treasury.
He also urged the neighboring countries to receive Yemeni qualified workers in
their labor markets.
He criticized some media outlets that exaggerate events in the country, saying such
exaggeration gives negative picture on Yemen.
The security is steady and any outlaw act is being faced strongly with cooperation
of honest people of the nation, president Saleh said.
He pointed out to the agreement between the General People Congress party and the
joint meeting parties to form a national dialogue committee, saying that the
committee
would hold its meeting in coming two days in accordance with the February Agreement
signed between the two sides.President Saleh also called on al-Houthi rebels to
comply
with the six points, saying that the choice of the state is peace.
"In their latest acts of aggression, the Huothi rebels attacked the MP Saghir Aziz
in his home and army units," Saleh said.
"The state has abstained from all military action, while knowing that the rebels
are pursuing other plans, as advocates of war who do not want peace." "We will,
however,
insist on implementing the six provisions (of the truce) and on returning to peace,"
he said, adding that he hoped to see Qatar "convince the rebels to apply the points
of
the ceasefire." He concluded his speech by congratulating all on coming Holy month
of Ramadan.
The ceremony was organized by ministry of higher education and scientific research,
ministry of youths and sports and Sana'a University.
