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.
