Sana'a – Saba: The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor organized a commemorative event on Sunday on the occasion of the International Day of Cooperatives, under the slogan "Cooperatives: Sustainable Solutions for Building a Better Future," in collaboration with partners in cooperative and developmental work. During the event, the First Deputy Prime Minister, Scholar Mohammed Muftah, emphasized the importance of cooperative work in nation-building through expansion in agricultural, industrial, educational, construction, and development fields. He praised the organization of the event to establish the principles of cooperation as a culture, religion, heritage, and civilizational legacy. He stressed the need to regulate cooperative work legally, morally, and ethically at all levels. Muftah noted that Yemen is inherently a cooperative society, as evidenced by its collaboration in various aspects of work, such as transforming mountains into agricultural terraces, which expanded Yemen's farmland manyfold. He called for organizing a conference to activate cooperative work, yielding practical results that reflect the orientations of the Revolution Leader in advancing human development. He also touched on the anniversary of the Karbala tragedy, which reflected the dangerous deviation in the nation's history, and drew parallels to the current violations in Gaza, where bloodshed, starvation, and Arab and Islamic inaction persist amid Western and Arab complicity—necessitating cooperation to correct the situation.

The event was attended by Dr. Ali Sheiban, Minister of Health and Environment, and Fahd Al-Azzi, Deputy Director of the Presidential Office.

Bajjalah affirmed the ministry's commitment to promoting cooperative principles in social work, highlighting that state leaders' participation reflects their dedication to advancing social work and empowering the ministry. He urged social affairs offices in provinces to cooperate with local authorities to achieve sustainable development. Ali Al-Razami, Deputy Minister of Social Affairs for Development, stressed the need for collaborative efforts among partners to elevate cooperatives as a fundamental pillar in societal progress and national economic growth. He noted the revolutionary leadership and Supreme Political Council's interest in cooperatives, including establishing productive associations for agricultural supplies, transformative industries, and livestock, while reactivating and correcting previous cooperative projects. Al-Razami highlighted the ministry's efforts through workshops for governors , local authorities, developing a model system for multi-purpose cooperatives, and creating a comprehensive database. The ministry also seeks to complete cooperative legislation, establish a cooperative institute for capacity building, and hold consultative meetings with government bodies and associations to assess the current state of cooperative work. Mubarak Al-Qaili, Head of the Cooperative and Agricultural Union, emphasized cooperatives' vital role in development and crisis response.
