The Presidium of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) held its periodic meeting on Sunday morning, chaired by President Aidarous Qassem Al-Zubaidi, the president of the STC.

At the meeting, which was attended by ministers of the STC in the power-sharing government, the Presidium stood before the ongoing preparations for convening the consultative meeting of the southern political components, scheduled to be launched on May 4, 2023, as stated in the briefing of the head of the internal southern national dialogue team (ISNDT), Dr. Saleh Mohsen Al-Hajj.

On this subject, the president affirmed that the consultative meeting will form and sustain a genuine southern partnership that includes the majority of the political components in the South, indicating that the STC pursues the deeply-rooted principle of dialogue as a civilized value to converge views and settle differences. Moreover, the president reaffirmed that the doors for dialogue will definitely remain widely open to all southerners, regardless of their various affiliations and orientations.

In a separate context, the Presidium discussed the results of the restructuring committee's work and the accomplished tasks to rebuild the general organizational structure of the STC, complete the construction of its bodies, update its documents, and evaluate the work of its staff as per the established professional and scientific foundations and standards.

In this respect, President Al-Zubaidi stressed the importance of expediting the completion of the remaining tasks of the Restructuring Committee, as it is an urgent necessity to advance the work of the STC and keep abreast of the developments of the current phase, proactivate the role of its bodies, and make room for competencies and young people to assume responsibility as they are the major building blocks of the aspired state of the South.

To the end of its meeting, the Presidium reviewed a range of developments on the national landscape and topics and issues related to the work of the STC and took the appropriate measures.
