Iran hails latest talks with Saudi Arabia as 'positive'

TEHRAN, 26 April 2022, (TON): Iran said “the latest round of talks with its regional rival Saudi Arabia was positive and serious and voiced hope for further progress soon.”

Tehran and Riyadh, which severed diplomatic ties in 2016, held four rounds of talks in Iraq between April and September last year, with a fifth meeting.

Foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh told reporters "fifth round of negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Baghdad was positive and serious and saw progress.”

Iran and Saudi Arabia support rival sides in several conflicts, including in Yemen, where Tehran backs the Houthi rebels and Riyadh leads a military coalition supporting the government.
