(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Yemeni Vice-President and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah has arrived in Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials regarding the situation in war-torn Yemen.
Bahah on Sunday arrived in Cairo from Saudi Arabia, where he was greeted at Cairo International Airport by Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab, according to airport sources.
Talks between Bahah and Mahlab are expected to focus on relations between the two countries and ongoing efforts aimed at combatting "terrorism."
Egypt is a member of a Saudi-led military coalition that has been pounding positions in Yemen held by the Shia Houthi militant group.
Saudi Arabia says its air campaign, which began in late March, comes in response to appeals by embattled Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi € who is currently in Riyadh € for military intervention against the Houthis.
Fractious Yemen has remained in turmoil since last September, when the Houthis overran capital Sanaa, from which the group has since extended its influence southwards to other parts of the country.
