DUBAI: Yemeni prime minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed on Tuesday visited a memorial for fallen Emirati soldiers in Abu Dhabi during his trip to the UAE.

The prime minister attended the Guard of Honor ceremony before laying a wreath at the Wahat Al-Karama monument, UAE news agency WAM reported.

Saeed arrived in Abu Dhabi on Monday in his first official trip to the UAE since becoming prime minister in October last year.

The Yemeni prime minister met with Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and discussed the latest developments in Yemen.

The UAE is part of the Saudi-led Arab coalition that backs the internationally recognized government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi against the Iran-backed Houthi militia which seized the Yemeni capital Sanaa in 2014.
