La même source a précisé que cette entrevue vient quatre ans après la première rencontre, en indiquant qu’elle permettra de mettre en application des accords de coopération entre les deux pays. En effet, les deux parties ont procédé à la signature de 13 conventions et protocoles de coopération dans différents domaines englobant 12 secteurs, comme les mines, l’agriculture, la pêche, l’enseignement supérieur et les transports. Concernant ce dernier domaine, Alger et Sanaa comptent «réfléchir» sur l’ouverture d’une ligne aérienne directe entre les deux capitales. De son côté, la partie yéménite, par le biais de son représentant, tentera, via cette coopération, de mettre à profit l’immense expérience algérienne dans le secteur des hydrocarbures, mais également, de trouver le mécanisme pouvant revoir à la hausse les bourses universitaires en vue de relever le nombre d’étudiants yéménites en Algérie. S’agissant de l’aspect politique, M. Salah Ali Basra, tout en rendant hommage à la politique de réconciliation nationale initiée dans notre pays, a fait remarquer que le projet de l’Union pour la Méditerranée (UPM) «doit être exploité à l’avantage des Etats du Sud».
