Sanaa, Aug 21 (ANI): Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is in Saudi Arabia for rehabilitation after he was injured in a bomb attack on his palace in June, is scheduled to come back to Sanaa on August 24, a ruling party official has said.
"President Saleh will return from the Saudi capital of Riyadh to Sanaa on Wednesday on the eve of the 30th anniversary of establishing the ruling party General People's Congress (GPC)," Xinhua quoted Abdul Hafid al-Nahari, the deputy of the GPC media department, as saying.
He also said his party was preparing for large-scale celebrations across the country to greet Saleh and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the party's establishment.
"After his return, the president will launch a dialogue with the opposition coalition Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) based on a power-transition deal initiated by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to end the country's prolonged political crisis," he added.
Yemen has been experiencing a political crisis after a revolt started within the country against Saleh's 33-year rule in late January.
Although the opposition had formed a National Council on August 17 to prevent Saleh from returning or resuming his presidential duties, Saleh has vowed to return to his country. (ANI)
