Iran Hopes Talks With Saudi Arabia Will Enhance Regional Security
TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh on Tuesday said that his country hopes that talks with Saudi Arabia on resolving problems will promote security and stability in the region.
In an interview with ILNA, Khatibzadeh said, the fifth round of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia has been positive.
He expressed the hope that the negotiations would enhance security and stability of the regional countries.
Khatibzadeh said this idea that talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran will help de-escalation in the region is naturally correct, adding that both states are important countries in the Persian Gulf region, which have impacts on trans-regional developments.
He did not confirm claims that the issue of Yemen is a hurdle in Saudi-Iran talks, adding that Yemen is one of important issues in the region; so, it is normal that Riyadh and Tehran hold talks on regional topics.
