This statement was published by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicating that the phone call included discussions between the ministers regarding the progress made in drafting a new agreement between the two countries and several practical issues related to bilateral cooperation in trade, economy, transportation, logistics services, and other fields.
Special attention was given to the escalating tensions in the Middle East, while both ministers strongly condemned the broad strikes carried out by a group of countries, led by the United States and Great Britain, on Yemeni territories.
They called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and ensuring unimpeded humanitarian aid access to the region to provide urgent assistance to affected civilian populations.
