We also discussed ideas on how to improve this port and revive its past glory. The Aden port is gradually turning into an international port. I hope that the Aden Free Zone will be fully realized soon so that the port will become a place where huge tankers and cargo ships dock. We are mainly concerned with the implementation of the Aden sewage project. A German delegation has come to Yemen to gauge the opportunities for doing just that.
More delegations are to follow.
On my return to Germany, I'll make it quite clear to the German government how important it is to invest in the Free Zone. These relations are very good, and are getting better. This high-level visit has further strengthened our bilateral ties. A delegation of experts has arrived in Yemen to discuss future projects with officials at the Ministry of Planning. But there is the Aden sewage project, the agreement for which was signed two years ago.
