Iran to mend ties with Saudi Arabia

As quoted by Parliament’s official news agency, Abbaszadeh Meshkini stressed the capacity of Saudi Arabia to determine foreign policy preferences of “some countries” in West Asia, reports Xinhua news agency.

The senior representative noted that more than one deputy ministers of foreign affairs had presented reports to the chamber, adding that Iran is determined to expand relations with its neighbours.

There is no apparent serious obstacle on the part of Iran in this process, and the possibility for cooperation between Iran and Saudi Arabia on the basis of common interests exists, he said.

According to the legislator’s remarks after the session, only some preparations remain to be made by experts in the ministries so as that eventual official meetings will yield results.
