"We are ready to send our ambassador to Saudi Arabia tomorrow, and there is nothing better than negotiations," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.
During the Antalya Forum session, Zarif pointed out in his speech that his country had proposed a ceasefire and provision of humanitarian assistance in Yemen since 2014, noting that the war in Yemen lasted six years when Saudi Arabia could have ended it within three weeks.
Iran often expresses its willingness to "conduct talks with Saudi Arabia at any level," considering that "if changing Saudi Arabia's rhetoric does not lead to a change in its behavior, it will not have practical results."
Earlier, the Iranian Foreign Ministry acknowledged Saudi adjusting its tone towards Iran, indicating the possibility of entering a new chapter of constructive cooperation.
