Benomar noted to the importance of this historic event because it will focus on very important issues, including the South issue and Sa›ada as well as the constitutional process and its basic principles that will focus on the new Constitution.

"The national dialogue conference will form a committee drafting the constitution and it is a historic opportunity for Yemenis to crystallize a rule system and a new social era," he said. "This would help the security, stability and revival of the economy to build a new future for Yemen."
