Putin, Saleh and other officials sitting at the conference table STORYLINE President Vladimir Putin pledged Russian help on Tuesday in promoting stability in the Middle East, telling Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh that Moscow was paying close attention to the troubled region. Both leaders also said they planned to discuss bilateral cooperation, particularly in expanding business ties. Russia has delivered some 8 (b) billion US dollars worth of military technology and arms to Yemen, the Interfax news agency reported, citing an unidentified defense industry source. No timeframe was cited. Topping the agenda, was the ongoing violence in the Middle East and the situation in Iraq. Saleh said that his nation had a number of new proposals that they''d hoped to present at the Arab League Summit in Tunisia, which was postponed last month. Some of the proposals, he said, related to efforts to boost the United Nations'' role in stabilising Iraq. A Kremlin official said that Yemen and Russia share the goal of widening the influence of the United Nations as a guarantor of international rights. International terrorism was also on the agenda, with Putin congratulating his Yemeni counterpart for his "principled position in the fight against terrorism." Yemen''s Prime Minister Abdul-Kader Bajammal said on Sunday that Yemen - the ancestral home of Osama bin Laden - has dismantled 90 percent of his al-Qaida cells in the country, in part by payoffs to tribes that once sheltered them.
