Amir-Abdollahian mentioned that he discussed with bin Farhan regional security, underlining that the security of the region can only be achieved by the countries of the region.

He stressed that "Iran has never considered security to be equivalent to militarism as security is an inclusive concept that has political, social, economic and commercial aspects and can be achieved through cooperation among the countries of the region."

The Iranian FM noted that he and bin Farhan "used this opportunity to discuss the necessity of supporting the oppressed people of Palestine, and we did."

On his part, bin Farhan said that talks with Amir-Abdollahian were positive, expressing Saudi Arabia's hopes to witness a boost in diplomatic cooperation with Iran and reopen its embassy in Tehran in the near future.

The Saudi Foreign Minister described Iran and Saudi Arabia as two important countries of the region, underlining that "the relations between the two countries are established based on basic principles such as mutual respect and non-interference in (each other's) internal affairs and respect for the UN Charter."

Bin Farhan also pointed to the importance of cooperation between the two countries in regional security, especially in maritime security, and that the region be free of weapons of mass destruction.
