Speaking at the third meeting of Iranian-Arabic dialogues, the foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that, “We have passed the stage of Iranian-Arabic dialogues and entered into regional dialogues, and even beyond that, we are in the stage of regional cooperation.”

“Iran is determined to deepen the understanding and empathy among the countries of the region, and the decisive approach of Ayatollah Raeisi’s government in focusing on the neighborhood policy is based on realizing this fundamental viewpoint,” he said.

“Regional security cannot be achieved but through the cooperation of the countries of the region. Insecurity in a part of the region causes insecurity in the entire region. We must come to the conclusion that turning our region into a weapons depot does not bring security to any of the countries and to the region,” he added.

“Security can only be achieved through empathy and cooperation,” he added.

Amir-Abdollahian further said that the normalized relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia bears testimony to increased cooperation in the region and collectivisim. “We believe that Iran and Saudi Arabia have many opportunities for cooperation with their existing potential and capabilities in the region and the Islamic world,” he added.
