SANA'A, May 15 (Saba) - A Yemeni delegation led by minister of Industry and Trade Yahya al-Mutawkil is set to head for Australia next Friday, the weekly 26september paper said on Thursday.

The delegation to include Yemeni businessmen particularly those who import wheat, will discuss with Australian officials opening markets to increase the amounts of wheat imported to Yemen.

The move comes within the government efforts to diversify the sources of securing foodstuffs amid soaring food prices worldwide.
