Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh returned home on Saturday after a successful working visit to the United Kingdom in which he met British Prime Minister David Cameron and a number of senior British officials.

During his visit to London, President Saleh also held talks with British officials on ways of strengthening bilateral relations and various areas of cooperation between Yemen and the UK.

In addition, the President talked with the British officials on the latest developments in the region and international developments of common interests, topped by the situation in the Middle East, Somalia and African Horn.

Efforts to bring peace back to Somalia and to combat terrorism and piracy were also touched up in the meeting.

The President underlined the incessantly growth of the Yemeni-British relations, hailing the British supportive attitudes towards Yemen's unity, security and stability as well as its development process.

Saleh thanked the British host to the donor conference held in London in 2006 and London Meeting in 2010, affirming Yemen's keenness on enhancing its relations with Britain and establishing a long-term partnership. He welcomed British investments to Yemen, saying they will be really cared.

The President made reference to the most significant economic challenges Yemen faces, saying that the flow of foreign investments would assist in push the development forward and create job opportunities and reduce the unemployment rates that would miss the opportunity of the extremists to attract youth.
