TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Highlighting Saudi Arabia’s significant position in Iran’s foreign policy, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran won’t allow any harm to its brotherly relations with Riyadh.
Commenting on the arrest of an Iranian cleric in Saudi Arabia during the Hajj season, Araqchi said he has held contacts with the Iranian representatives in the Arab country and the officials of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization in order to avert any disruption to the Hajj travels and arrangements.
“We are quite serious about the relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Our policy of neighborliness that has already come into force is a very important policy. Saudi Arabia has a very significant place in this policy,” the foreign minister stated.
Araqchi emphasized that Iran will maintain its “brotherly relations” with Saudi Arabia and won’t allow any disruption to the bilateral ties.
