FM: Sanaa still extends hand of peace from position of strength

SANAA, March 20 (YPA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hisham Sharaf Abdullah, said on Saturday that Sanaa still extends a hand of peace from “the position of strength and steadiness, not a concession or weakness.”

This came during his meeting in Sanaa with the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Yemen, Hassan Erlo.

The meeting discussed issues related to the bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries, especially in the educational and health fields.

In the meeting, Sharaf indicated that the military aggression, the comprehensive siege, and the starvation policy pursued by the Saudi-led aggression coalition countries and mercenaries, is a systematic escalation aimed at harming the Yemeni people and thwarting all peace options.

For his part, the Iranian ambassador praised the legendary steadfastness of the Yemeni people in the face of the military aggression and comprehensive siege that is entering its seventh year.
