Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi said Sunday that Turkey and Yemen have deep-rooted ties.

According to Yemen’s SABA news agency, Hadi received Levent Eler, whose term in office ended as the Turkish ambassador in Sanaa, in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh.

Hadi appreciated Eler’s efforts to improve the bilateral relations during his post.

Eler, for his part, stressed that Turkey’s supporting position for Yemen and its legitimate government would not change.

Eler was appointed ambassador in 2016.
