TEHRAN, Apr 5 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran is ready to resume talks with Saudi Arabia, to solve differences, the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman announced, yesterday.

“We are ready for the continuation of talks and for the settlement of differences. We have submitted our views in written form to the Saudi side, and they should express their views,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said, in his weekly press briefing.

Repeating Iran's welcome of a cease-fire in Yemen, he said, this“should be completed with the beginning of intra-Yemeni dialogue and we should wait for the results.”

Following the UN-backed two-month truce in Yemen, Khatibzadeh, on Saturday, expressed hope that the peace initiative can be a prelude to completely lifting the siege on the Yemeni people and the establishment of a permanent cease-fire, to find a political solution to the crisis.

Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014, when the Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, out of the capital, Sanaa.

According to the United Nations, the war has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced four million, and pushed the country to the brink of starvation.– NNN-IRNA
