Earlier in the day, Zarif held a phone conversation with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the regional developments, especially the situation in Yemen. They stressed the need for the opening of Yemen's borders and ports in order to help transport humanitarian aid to the people of the war-torn country.
