Iraq's Prime Minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, revealed that Iran-Saudi talks taking place in Baghdad have reached advanced stages.
Al-Kadhimi noted that Iraq played an important role in closing the gap between the two regional countries by hosting a dialogue between them.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian had said on May 26 that good progress has been made in talks between Tehran and Riyadh, and that both have even agreed to hold a meeting at the level of Foreign Ministry officials or the foreign minister-level in a third country.
The Saudi Foreign Minister also said during the Davos World Economic Forum that the kingdom and GCC countries are focusing on a future built on security and cooperation, adding that Riyadh's hands are outstretched to Iran and all countries.
Iranian MP Javad Karimi Ghoddousi, who is a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian parliament, said that Iran's Foreign Minister will soon meet his Saudi counterpart in the Iraqi capital.
