The delegation stressed the need to agree on transparent and balanced mechanisms to address the repercussions of the economic situation, ensure the distribution of humanitarian aid, work to end the financial division, unify the currency, and support the central bank in Aden to resume paying the salaries of employees according to the 2014 payroll, while ensuring the transfer of all revenues to the government treasury from all of Yemen’s geography in accordance with the Stockholm Agreement, and the swift lifting of the siege on Taiz Governorate.
