Sanaa's Worldview

The new Yemeni government formed after the parliamentary elections has yet to elaborate its foreign policy programme. The dominance of the General People's Congress (GPC) however means that Saleh's foreign minister, Abd al Karim al Iryani, will continue to pursue the policies he outlined in the months before the election. It is therefore useful to look at Iryani's worldview, as outlined in an interview given to at Quds al Arabi earlier this year.
