https://qagg.news/?q=iran
Iran is holding talks with Saudi Arabia to resolve the issues standing in the way of normal relations between the two countries, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh has said in the first public acknowledgement of the talks by Tehran.
"De-escalation of tensions between the two Muslim countries in the Persian Gulf region is in the interest of both nations and the region", Khatibzadeh stated.
The ministry's press secretary added that Tehran is using its "best efforts" for talks to resolve the issues between the two nations. Khatibzadeh's statement follows a previous refusal by Iran to acknowledge the talks were taking place. Not long before the announcement by Tehran, the Saudi Foreign Ministry's head of policy planning, Rayed Krimly, shared with Reuters that Iran and Saudi Arabia are engaged in negotiations to reduce tensions in the region.
