On conferences to be held in Yemen in 2004, columnist Yahya Taher al-Ha keen says Yemen is to host in 2004 several activities, festivals, conferences and symposiums attended by Arab and world personalities and delegations representing various concerns.
Perhaps the most prominent of those festivals and conferences are those contained in the program regarding the celebration of crowning Sana'a an Arab culture capital for the year 2004. It would be a year that all efforts should be unified for presenting Sana'a and Yemen, with all their heritage, art and literature and aspiration of the people in the best image. The whole thing is not only concern of the government but rather it concerns all government and popular organisations.
The second very important activity to be held in Sana'a is the regional conference for democracy, human rights and h law to take place on 10-12 January. It is to be attended by Arab and world political, jurist and legal personalities, some of them visiting Yemen for the first time. Here we have to be very keen on presenting Yemen's experiment to the conference truthfully, objectively and with transparency, away from fabrications and exaggerations hat would not yield and benefit.
