Bin Mubarak made the statement while welcoming visiting Bahraini Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullatif Al-Zayani, according to Yemen's official news agency (SABA).
During the meeting, both sides discussed bilateral relations between Yemen and Bahrain, the latest peace situation in Yemen, and ongoing arrangements for the forthcoming 33rd Arab Summit due in Manama next month.
