Special Presidential Representative for the Middle East and Africa Mikhail Bogdanov had a meeting with Ambassador of the Republic of Yemen to Russia Ahmed Salem Al-Wahishi at the latter's request.
The officials discussed the political and military situation in Yemen, where since 2014 there are continuous clashes between the Houthis and government forces.
Over the past five years, foreign troops have also taken part in the conflict.
Thus, in February 2015, a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia has invaded Yemen and still has a substantial presence there.
It is also reported that Mikhail Bogdanov and Ahmed Al-Wahishi discussed current issues on the Russian–Yemeni bilateral agenda.
