Saudi talks under way in ‘good atmosphere’: Iran
The Hindu
‘Aim to reach common understanding’
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Monday that the Islamic republic is continuing talks with regional rival Saudi Arabia in a “good atmosphere,” in the hope of reaching a “common understanding”. Media reports last month revealed that Iranian and Saudi officials met in Baghdad in April, their first high-level meeting since Riyadh cut diplomatic ties with Tehran in 2016. “Talks are still continuing in a good atmosphere,” Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said at a press conference. “We hope these talks can achieve a common understanding between Iran and Saudi Arabia,” he added.
