Tehran, IRNA – Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi had “fruitful” conversations with top Saudi authorities, including Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, about bilateral relations and recent regional developments, says spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei.

The foreign minister held “fruitful conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, FM Amir Faisal bin Farhan and Defense Minister Amir Khaled bin Salman about Iran-Saudi bilateral relations and latest developments in the region,” Baqaei said via X on Tuesday evening.
