“There was... a confidential exchange of views on some regional issues with an emphasis on the state of affairs in Yemen,” the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
In addition, the parties discussed the subsequent development of relations between the two states, including the schedule of upcoming bilateral events.
Earlier, the Yemeni Houthis (members of the Shiite movement Ansar Allah) threatened the United Arab Emirates to create "a real danger to their economy and foreign investment" if they "continue aggression."
In September 2019, the Arab coalition announced the launch of a military operation in the north of Hodeidah in Yemen, directed against "military installations".
In response to these actions, Yemeni rebels accused Saudi Arabia and its allies of escalating the conflict.
As Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani noted, ending the war in Yemen will be the key to solving regional problems.
