Hans Grundberg, heading a UN delegation, arrived in Tehran for consultations on the latest developments in Yemen.
He made the comment in a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister Ali-Asghar Khaji on Sunday evening, in which the two sides also exchanged viewpoints on perspective of peace in Yemen and exchange of POWs.
Khaji elaborated on Islamic Republic of Iran's moves made for the removal of imposed sanctions against the war-stricken Yemeni nation, brokering a peace treaty and resolving the crisis there through political negotiations.
"A practical strategy to achieve those goals needs to be sought urgently, and the human catastrophe in Yemen needs to be improved as a top priority of the UN and the other players in that country," added Khaji.
Grundberg, too, in the meeting expressed satisfaction over the recently achieved Tehran-Riyadh political agreement to resume full diplomatic relations, arguing that this positive development has favorable aftermaths for the entire regional countries, especially for the war-stricken Yemeni nation.
