Iran striving to end Yemen crisis: Official

TEHRAN (Defapres) Iran’s senior negotiator in talks on regional crises told IRNA after a meeting with Secretary General of the EU diplomatic service, Helga Schmid and director of the Italian, German, French and British foreign ministries for political and security affairs to discuss Yemen crisis that the meeting was mainly centered on developments in Yemen.

Main goal behind the talks between Iran and four European states was to explore Yemen crisis and find a way out of the situation in the impoverished states, Jaberi said, describing Thursday’s discussion on Yemen as good.

“Yemeni crisis has taken up terrible humanitarian dimensions, as we witness a widespread human catastrophe and the silent death of a nation,” he said, reiterating Iran’s endeavors to bring the crisis to an end.

This was the second such a session held after a meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on February, 2018, focusing on political and humanitarian situation in Yemen.

Participants in the meeting agreed to hold the next round of the talks in Brussels in following the fasting month of Ramadhan in the second half of the June.
