Yemen

Bharat had actively supported Yemen’s independence from the British and was one of the first countries to recognize Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) in 1962 and People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY) in 1967. In 1990, YAR and PDRY merged to become Republic of Yemen.

Yemen and its people are favorably disposed to Bharat and have supported it in international fora. Upon invitation, Bharat joined the “Friends of Yemen Group” in April 2012 in order to assist the country in the transition phase.

Bharat’s championship of independence and recognition of Yemen Arab Republic and People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen laid the foundation for a relationship in the post-colonial era that began to deepen during the 1980s. Yemen is a member of Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), among others. Yemen has been steadfast in its support for permanent membership for Bharat in an expanded UN.
