Envoy: Iran in favor of enhanced ties with S. Arabia, Turkey

 

“We seek to establish the best brotherly relations with Saudi Arabia, based on the principle of mutual respect,” Fathali was quoted by the Lebanese Daily Star as saying in an interview with a radio station on Wednesday, Fars News Agency reported.

“We see positive indications on the horizon for Iranian-Saudi relations,” he added.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s participation in the last month’s funeral services for Saudi King Abdullah was just one gesture of goodwill, the diplomat explained.

The Iranian ambassador also described relations with his Saudi counterpart as “very good”.

In relevant remarks in January, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian underlined that Saudi Arabia should adopt positive measures to better its relations with Tehran.
