Russia's concept envisions, in particular, that all disputes and conflicts in the Gulf be resolved on the basis of international law and in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.
"Yemen, just as other countries in the region, is interested in a more stable and secure Persian Gulf. Russia has some ideas on this score, which are supported by our Yemeni friends - ideas aimed at creating a security system in the region," Lavrov said.
The Yemeni minister said he agreed with Lavrov's position.
"We believe that the security concerns that exist in the Persian Gulf can be addressed on the basis of the strategic security concept for the Gulf that has been proposed by the Russian Federation," Abu Bakr Abdallah al-Qirbi said.
He added that Yemen highly values Russia's moderate and balanced position on Middle East problems.
Lavrov also said Russia intends to actively cooperate with Yemen in fighting terrorism.
"Russia strongly supports Yemen's actions to eradicate hotbeds of extremism and to normalize the situation in all parts of the country," he said.
