analysis: The text appears to be a formal announcement from the foreign ministers of the Yemen Arab Republic and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, announcing the merger of the two countries into a single sovereign state, the Republic of Yemen. The document does not mention economic, environmental, agricultural, industrial, or transportation-related issues, but rather focuses on international relations and organization.
