  • Iraq reports of sixth round of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia
    Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia have had their ups and downs.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein announced on Tuesday that the next and sixth round of talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran will be carried out via intelligence services.

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Hussein told a reporter, "but one thing I know - the process of negotiation will continue and perhaps the next round, once again, it will continue on the level of the intelligence service people. Then, we hope that after the next round, it will be different."

Over the past months, Iraq hosted rounds of talks between Tehran and Riyadh, with the aim of softening up the tensions between the two countries. 

The two countries, which had their diplomatic ties cut in 2016, held their last round of talks in April of this year at the security level. 

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said about the meeting that it was "comprehensive, good and serious," but it has not yet reached the stage of real political dialogue, suggesting the possibility of rapid progress if that is reached.

In July, Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said the next meeting between Saudi Arabia and Iran will be held in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and will be a public one.
