“1. Cancelling all the recent decisions and procedures against banks by both sides and refraining in the future from any similar decisions or procedures.
2. Resuming Yemenia Airways’ flights between Sana’a and Jordan and increasing the number of flights to three daily flights, and operating flights to Cairo and India daily or as needed.
3. Meetings are convened to address the administrative, technical, and financial challenges faced by the company.
4. Initiating the convening of meetings to discuss all economic and humanitarian issues based on the roadmap.”
