Saleh met with Krajeski in Sanaa to discuss mutual relations and aspects of joint cooperation between the two countries. Krajeski, 54, has 15 years of diplomatic experience in the Arab region, including postings in Egypt, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. Fluent in Arabic, Krajeski takes over from Edmund J. Hull, who headed the US mission in Sanaa for the past three years, a period during which fighting terrorism was the cornerstone of Yemeni-US relations. |
