Australian FM: Iran visit very productive

The Australian top diplomat has expressed hope that all parties involved in the Yemeni conflict will achieve a political solution.

Foreign Minister of Australia Julie Bishop described her recent visit to Iran as “very productive and useful”.

She made the remark in an interview on Wednesday with IRNA in Pakistan where she is paying her first official visit since she assumed office in September 2013.

Bishpo further said that during her visit to Tehran in April, she met President Hassan Rouhani and her counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif and discussed a good number of bilateral, regional and international issues, including the Yemeni conflict.

“Presumably all such conflicts ultimately need to be resolved with a political solution and we hope that all stakeholders will achieve a political solution in Yemen,“ she stressed.
