Josep Borrell headed a diplomatic delegation from the European Union on a four-day trip to the Middle East last Thursday.
He arrived in Qatar at the first stop of the trip and discussed with senior officials the development of bilateral relations and developments in the region, including the situation in Afghanistan and the Iran nuclear deal.
The EU foreign policy chief also met with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan in Brussels a few months ago to express concern over developments in Yemen and called on all parties to end the catastrophic conflict in the country.
According to IRNA, the European External Action Service, Joseph Borrell, while expressing his desire to reduce tensions in the Persian Gulf region, noted that the European Union supports a political solution and dialogue in this area.
Saudi Arabia, with the support of the United States, the United Arab Emirates and several other countries, has launched a military invasion and siege of Yemen since March 2015. The outbreak of war by Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen has so far killed tens of thousands and displaced millions of Yemenis.
The Saudi military aggression has also left the poor country of Yemen severely short of food and medicine.
