WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama told Yemen's new president
on Saturday the United States would be a steadfast partner and urged him to
follow through on promises for a broad national dialogue, political reforms and
elections by 2014.
"I told President (Abd-Rabbu Mansour) Hadi that the United States
will stand with the people of Yemen as they continue their efforts to forge a
brighter future for their country," Obama said in a statement.
He also offered condolences for the victims of a suicide bombing,
claimed by al Qaeda, that killed at least 26 people outside a presidential
palace in southern Yemen on Saturday hours after Hadi was sworn in.
