Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has held a meeting with his Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, with the latter expressing Riyadh’s readiness to continue dialog with Tehran, amid efforts by the two neighbors to fix their troubled ties.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced in a tweet, posted in Arabic language, that the meeting took place on the sidelines of the Baghdad II Conference in Jordan.

“I attended the Baghdad-2 conference in Jordan to reaffirm our support for Iraq, and on the sidelines of the meeting I also had the opportunity to meet with some of my counterparts, including the foreign ministers of Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi minister assured me of his country’s readiness to continue dialog with Iran,” the top Iranian diplomat wrote in his tweet.

Iran and Saudi Arabia are among the countries attending the conference in Jordan, which was organized by France and Iraq with the aim of providing a forum for discussing the region’s problems.

Prince Faisal has already said his country will continue to extend its hand to Iran for a “positive relationship” that serves the stability of the region.
