Iran, Switzerland discuss Syria, Yemen latest developments

Tehran, Iran’s Foreign Minister’s Senior Advisor for Special Political Affairs Ali Asghar Khaji, and the Head of the Middle East and North Africa Department at the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maya Tissafi in a meeting on Sunday reviewed Syria and Yemen’s latest developments.

Khaji met and held talks with the Head of the Middle East and North Africa Department at the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maya Tissafi on Sunday.

During the meeting, the two sides discussed the latest developments and humanitarian situations in Syria after the recent earthquake as well as the political developments in Syria and Yemen.

Expressing regret over the recent earthquake in Syria, Khaji called for more cooperation by the international community in dispatching humanitarian aid to Syria.

While the Syrian people are trying to save their families from the rubble, the Zionist regime’s attack on residential areas in Syria displays the aggression of the regime, he noted.

Referring to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, he stressed the need for the immediate lifting of Yemen’s humanitarian and economic blockade besides the establishment of a ceasefire in the country.
