Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia and Yemen are ready to be linked by a direct flight service, House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Agung Laksono said here on Saturday.
Speaking to the press after receiving a Yemeni delegation on the sidelines of the third Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) plenary session here Saturday, Laksono said he welcomed the Yemeni government`s decision to open a direct flight service to Jakarta.
Laksono said when the Yemeni government`s decision was implemented, airline flights from Jakarta to Yemen and the other way round would no longer need to make stopovers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Singapore.
The House speaker said a direct flight service between Indonesa and Yemen would strengthen and improve their trade and bilateral relations.
The Yemeni delegation at the meeting with Laksono was led by Akram Abdullah Atiyah who appreciated the results of the APA meeting which were to be embodied in a Jakarta Declaration.
Atiyah on the occasion also invited the Indonesian House speaker to visit Yemen.
Laksono said trade relations between the two countries had yet to be established but their long-standing bilateral ties, including inter-parliamentary relations through APA, had always been good.
