In a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Islamabad on Thursday, Sharif said Iran and Pakistan should try to immediately settle the crisis in Yemen through a political solution.
The Iranian minister, for his part, explicated Tehran’s proposals for ceasefire in Yemen.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to militarily interfere in Yemen's internal affairs by launching deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
The Saudi-led coalition, including military forces from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Egypt, Sudan, Bahrain, Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt, has killed hundreds of civilians so far.
Elsewhere in the meeting, Zarif and Sharif discussed the situation in Afghanistan, Tehran-Islamabad bilateral relations and the border issues.
