Italy–Yemen relations refers to the current and historical relationship between Italy and Yemen. Yemen has an embassy in Rome. Italy had an embassy in Sana'a, which was closed in 2015 due to concerns over security and the withdraw of staff.[1]
Asmahan Abdulhameed Al-Toqi is the current Ambassador of Yemen to Italy.[2]
History
[edit]Diplomatic relations between Italy and Yemen began on September 2, 1926, when the Italo-Yemeni Treaty was signed.[3] This made Italy the first country formally to recognize Yemen's independence.[4] This treaty granted Italy, then ruled by Benito Mussolini, control over the east coast of the Red Sea.
