Tehran, 11 Jumadal Awwal 1436/2 March 2015 (MINA)–  Yemen’s new government has dispatched a delegation to Tehran for talks with the Iranian authorities.

There were some deputy ministers among the Yemeni officials who arrived in Tehran on Sunday, reports in the Iranian media said.

The four-day trip will see the two sides discuss the mutual ties and the regional developments while some memorandums of understandings will also be signed, Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Iranian and Yemeni aviation authorities signed one such MoU Saturday in order to facilitate the air transport between the two countries. The document enables national carrier Yemenia and the Iranian carrier Mahan Air to each operate 14 flights per week to the other country.

A day after the deal was reached in Tehran, an Iranian plane carrying humanitarian aid arrived in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a.
