Iranian diplomat, UN envoy discuss Yemen developments

UN Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen, Hans Grundberg met and held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian at the venue of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday.

The two diplomats discussed the latest developments in Yemen, a country beset by more than eight years of war.

Yemen has been under attack by Saudi Arabia and its allies since March 2015. There has been a lull in the fighting in recent months amid negotiations for peace.

Iran has repeatedly called for the cessation of hostilities and for finding a political solution to the political disputes in Yemen.
