 In its meeting, which was attended by a number of council ministers in the parity government, the Presidium stood before a number of developments on the national scene, the most important of which was related to the procedures for inspecting ships destined for ports under the control of the Houthi militia, where the authority renewed in this regard its request to the leadership of the Arab coalition to transfer the inspection center from  Djibouti to the capital, Aden, stressing the need not to make concessions before reaching a comprehensive solution that meets the aspirations of all parties.

 In the context, the Presidium condemned the recent measures taken by the Houthi militia to seize the funds of Yemenia Airlines in the banks under its control, which are used for  maintenance  and the development of the company's work, calling on the Arab coalition and the government to take corresponding measures to force the Houthi militia to lift these measures.

 On the other hand, the Presidium saluted the heroes of the southern armed forces who are stationed on the battle fronts, and who are strongly facing the broad Houthi escalation in which various types of weapons were used, and thwarting all the goals of that escalation, in light of the obstacles that they faced such as not given their salaries.

 The  Presidium discussed the monthly report on the performance of the Training and Rehabilitation Center of the Council, as well as the results of the annual meeting of the General Secretariat departments, the executive bodies of the local leadership of the Council in the governorates, and the Council’s coordinators in universities, in addition to a number of other topics related to the work of the Council and its various bodies.
