Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif Thursday told Slovak president that sending humanitarian aid to Yemen would better address the ongoing crisis in the war-torn country.
"As the head of the European Union, we want to see Slovakia more active and effective in advancing talks to facilitate humanitarian aid in these countries; dire situations in Syria and Yemen entail more active EU role in general; Iran welcomes any EU initiative to end the war and violence in Yemen and Syria through non-military means," Zarif said.
Iran’s top diplomat arrived in Bratislava earlier last night during his tour of three Eastern European countries which included Slovakia.
Zarif was received by President Andrej Kiska, and the two officials discussed bilateral relations as well as crises in the Middle East.
