President Hadi said that this meeting is the first task of implementing the outputs of the national dialogue conference (NDC) as practical steps towards the actual implementation of NDC outputs, pointing out that a federal system is a modern system in the world and they use it to adjust the administrative, developmental and economic process as well as working away from the centralization in order to share the responsibility, resources and power.

“This system is the best and the most appropriate to maintain the Yemeni unity which will be maintained. There will be no prejudice to the Yemeni unity as long as I am on the power", the president said.
