Biden will announce a food aid plan for O.Próximo and North Africa estimated at 1,000 million euros

MADRID, 16 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, will announce this Saturday, during the summit of leaders of the Gulf countries to which he plans to attend, a food aid plan for the Middle East and North Africa valued at 1,000 million euros, according to US government sources have confirmed to Bloomberg.

At this meeting, the leaders of the six countries that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council will commit another 3,000 million euros over the next two years within the framework of the so-called Global Investment and Infrastructure Initiative.

Biden is in Saudi Arabia, on his second day of visiting the kingdom and as part of his tour of the region. His bilateral meeting with the Saudi leaders has resulted, for the moment, in several agreements, among which the commitment to take measures with the aim of extending the truce mediated by the United Nations in Yemen stands out.

"We agree to work together to deepen and broaden the ceasefire in Yemen," he announced, before emphasizing that the truce has lasted more than three months, making it "the most peaceful period in Yemen in seven years."
