Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh
arrived in Saudi capital Riyadh on Wednesday morning to attend
the signing ceremony of a power transfer deal between the government
and the opposition, Yemeni state TV and a government official
said.
"The president of the Republic arrived safely in Riyadh
to attend the signing ceremony of GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council)
deal and its mechanism," Yemeni TV reported.
"The unannounced visit came upon a request of the Saudi
government leaders and the UN secretary general to end the
country's 10-month-old unrest after the ruling party and opposition
reached a political compromise which was mediated by the UN
envoy to Yemen Jamal bin Omar," the Yemeni official told
Xinhua.
