Upon his departure on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi said the conference will discuss in four days several international issues of common interest to NAM's member states as well as the means to strengthen the Movement's role to keep pace with the international changes.

Al-Qirbi will hand over a letter from President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi to Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. The letter deals with ways to enhance the brotherly relations between Yemen and Algeria, the Minister said.

Al-Qirbi said that he would also hold talks with officials in the Algerian Foreign Ministry on ways to develop bilateral relations in various fields.
