Iranian, Saudi FMs meet in New York, discuss ties, key regional issues
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan have discussed ways to improve mutual relations in various fields and the need to hold constant coordination and consultation to monitor the progress of their ties.
Araghchi and bin Farhan met on Sunday on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The top Iranian and Saudi diplomats exchanged views about leading regional and international developments, particularly Israel’s nearly year-long genocidal war on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
At least 41,431 Palestinians, mostly children and women, have been killed and 95,818 people wounded in the war that Israel began on October 7, 2023, following a retaliatory operation by the Palestinian territory’s resistance movements.
Araghchi congratulates Saudi National Day
In a message, the Iranian foreign minister extended his congratulations to bin Farhan over Saudi National Day.
In a post on his X account, Iran’s Ambassador to Riyadh Ali Reza Enayati said Araghchi stressed the importance of enhancing mutual ties.
In March last year, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed under a Chinese-brokered deal to restore diplomatic relations severed in 2016.
As part of a joint statement issued by the two sides, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to implement a security cooperation agreement signed in April 2001 and another accord reached in May 1998 to boost ties in various sectors.
