NOURNEWS- The press conference of Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Faisal bin Farhan, the foreign ministers of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia, was held at the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Riyadh with the presence of journalists.
Amir-Abdollahian in his joint press conference with his Saudi counterpart: Iran and Saudi Arabia are two important countries in West Asia and the world, and fortunately, both parties are determined to move together. We continue our strong support for Quds. There is no doubt that the Zionist regime will continue its efforts to create division in the region. During Faisal bin Farhan's trip to Tehran, he was the bearer of Sultan Salman's message for an official invitation to Ayatollah Raisi, and Mr. Raisi, while accepting this invitation, said that he will make this trip at the right time. Our talks today will provide the foundations for this trip.
We agree on public diplomacy and parliamentary diplomacy and exchange of elites. There were also discussions about sports, and it was agreed that the teams of both sides will travel and have competitions with each other.
Faisal bin Farhan: Saudi Arabia is seriously determined to develop its relations with Iran
Saudi Arabia's FM said: Today's meeting was held in line with bilateral relations and past efforts to ensure the security of the region and to emphasize the honest will and serious determination to implement the agreement. In line with the implementation of the provisions of the agreement, the representatives of both sides have started their work.
The mission of two ambassadors in two countries was started in this direction. I emphasized to my counterpart that we are ready to implement the previous agreements, especially in the field of economic and security, as well as to continue the talks even further.
Faisal bin Farhan added: Saudi Arabia is ready to welcome Mr. Raisi based on the Sultan's invitation. While welcoming again, we expect that this meeting will pave the way for cooperation between the parties based on brotherhood.
