TEHRAN -- Iran considers the apartheid Israeli regime as the “biggest threat” to the region and Muslims, Foreign Minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian has told his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi.
Amir-Abdollahian also laid emphasis on the need for unity among Muslims in the face of the occupying regime and its escalating encroachment on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
He touched on his visit earlier this year to Amman, and announced the Islamic Republic’s readiness to expand relations and cooperation between the two countries.
The Jordanian official laid emphasis on his country’s support for regional peace and stability, and defense of the holy sites in Al-Quds against Israeli acts of aggression.
He said Iran is an important country in the region and that Amman attaches “great importance” to further development of its ties with Tehran.
Safadi, meanwhile, welcomed the recent reconciliation agreement reached between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
On Thursday, Amir-Abdollahian also talked on the phone with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan about their technical teams laying the groundwork for reopening of embassies and consulates on each other’s soil.
Bin Farhan hoped that they would meet each other in their respective capitals in the near future.
