The head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council called on international partners to reshape their relationship with the Yemeni government, moving away from short-term crisis management toward a sustained partnership, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

The official also called for expanded international cooperation on security and deterrence measures, as well as the protection of Yemeni ports, Anadolu Agency reported.
