Iran says Saudi ready to move reconciliation talks to higher level

TEHRAN, 24 July 2022, (TON): Iran’s foreign minister said “Iran and Saudi Arabia are ready to move reconciliation talks to a higher level, more than a year after they began and six years after the two rivals severed relations.”

Since April last year Iraq has hosted five rounds of talks between Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shiite-majority Iran, which support opposing sides in various conflicts around the region.

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said “progress has been made in these negotiations.”

He added “last week Iran had received a message from Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein who said the Saudi side is ready to move the talks to the political and public level.”

Iran s top diplomat noted that previous rounds had mainly been at the level of security officials.
