Saudi Arabia committed to substantive discussion with Iran, will hold another round of talks soon: FM


Saudi Arabian foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud

Saudi Arabias foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, says his country is committed to substantive dialogue with Iran on addressing common concerns of regional countries, adding that Tehran and Riyadh plan to hold another round of talks soon.

In an interview with France 24 published on Saturday, Saud said the four previous rounds of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia have been so far "exploratory in nature. They have been cordial but not substantive."

"We are committed to a substantive discussion with Iran on addressing the concerns we and other countries in the region have. That would allow us to come to a normal relationship... but that would require to address all the concerns that we all have," the top Saudi diplomat added.

He noted that the two countries have not reached yet any substantive conclusion on bilateral talks, but have made enough progress that would allow them to move forward.

He said a fresh round of talks has not been scheduled yet, but expressed hope that it would start soon, adding, "We are open to it."

In response to a question about the possibility of the reopening of Irans consulate in Saudi port city of Jeddah or the Saudi consulate in Irans northeastern city of Mashhad, Saud said his country is willing to consider all issues and proposals if tied to substantive progress.

Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said late last month that the Islamic Republic and Saudi Arabia have reached preliminary agreements through talks held in the Iraqi capital and it is only a matter of time before they are finalized.

"We have reached preliminary agreements through these talks... These agreements have been reached by the two sides and we are waiting for them to be finalized," he added.

Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic relations with Iran in January 2016 after Iranian protesters, enraged by the Saudi execution of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, stormed its embassy in Tehran.

For years, the kingdom pursued a confrontational foreign policy toward the Islamic Republic, but it recently appeared to have changed track.

The two Middle East heavyweights have held four rounds of talks since April, including a first meeting last month with the government of new President Ebrahim Raeisi.
