Yemen’s Ansarullah delegation headed by Mohammad al-Bukhaiti is currently visiting Tehran.

Amir Abdollahian pointed to the recent talks of the Yemeni groups in Switzerland, and expressed the hope that the Yemeni groups could reach an agreement entailing all interests of the Yemeni nation.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s stance towards Yemen has always been in line with maintaining the people’s interests and we support the dialogue among different Yemeni sides and achieving a political solution to the Yemeni crisis,” the deputy foreign minister said.
