UN General Assembly
1977

148. The Government of the Yemen Arab Republic is deeply involved in the march towards the prosperity and development of its people. Every year new gains are being scored in many projects, in co-operation with the United Nations, other international organizations and friendly brother States. These gains have been made possible by the implementation of the three-year development plan, with an annual increase in the gross national product at 12.6 per cent. That was followed by the drawing up of a draft of first live-year development plan, to be implemented between 1976 and 1980. The aim of that plan is the development of all sectors of the national economy; it is primarily on establishing an infrastructure. A conference to discuss this draft plan will be held next month in our capital.
