Saudi crown prince, Iran’s FM hold ‘fruitful’ talks on bilateral ties, regional security

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has met and held “fruitful” talks with high-ranking Saudi Arabian officials in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah on a range of issues, including the consolidation of security and stability across the West Asian region.

Saudi Arabia’s state-run news agency SPA said Araghchi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman met at al-Salam Palace in Jeddah on Tuesday and reviewed Tehran-Riyadh relations as well as the latest regional developments.

The Iranian foreign minister expressed his gratitude to the kingdom for its stance in condemning the Israeli aggression on the Islamic Republic and offered his appreciation for Bin Salman’s efforts and initiatives to promote security and stability in the region.

The Saudi crown prince, for his part, expressed Riyadh’s hope that the US-brokered unilateral ceasefire agreement would contribute to conditions that ensure regional security and stability.

Bin Salman also emphasized the kingdom’s stance in supporting dialogue through diplomatic means as a path of resolving disputes.

The Israeli regime launched in the wee hours of June 13 an unprecedented wave of aggression on Iran’s military and civilian infrastructure that claimed hundreds of lives, including women and children as well as a dozen top military brass.
