"The scale of this conflict and the enormous price the entire world is paying demand that we exert our utmost efforts to end it quickly through a negotiated solution at the negotiating table," al-Hashmi said.
He added that the negotiations had taken into account the concerns of various parties, without elaborating on the details.
The statement came as the conflict between the United States and Iran has dragged on for more than seven months, with no signs of progress.
