In a statement to Yemen Times, Al-Tayyib emphasized the importance of this meeting to encourage and support civil society organizations in the Republic of Yemen. “We are far behind many nations in the world in terms of having effective civil society organizations. This is why the council's human rights, liberties and civil society organizations committee made an analytical study in this respect, which we hope would help in focusing on this vital issue and serving as a starting point to promote this sector in Yemen.” he said.
The meeting started with a speech of the Shura council's chairman Abdulaziz Abulghani, who stressed on the need to revive those institutions and have them interact more effectively in the Yemeni community and pledged to support them in many ways. Then the working paper that the meeting was held for was read and was followed by a discussion session.
