Tehran, March 5 (AFP\/APP): Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday appeared to welcome recent comments by Saudi Arabia’s crown prince about relations between the two regional rivals as a sign of Riyadh’s “desire” to restore severed ties.<\/p>\n

“The recent remarks of a high-ranking Saudi official show their desire to establish bilateral relations with Iran, and we welcome that,” Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told state news agency IRNA.<\/p>\n

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told The Atlantic in an interview published on Thursday that his country and Iran were “neighbours forever”.<\/p>\n

“We cannot get rid of them, and they can’t get rid of us,” he said, according to a transcript issued by the official Saudi Press Agency.<\/p>\n

“So it’s better for both of us to work it out and to look for ways in which we can coexist,” he added, expressing hope that “we can reach a position that’s good for both countries”.<\/p>\n

In 2016, protesters attacked Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran after the kingdom executed revered Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr. Riyadh responded at the time by cutting ties with Tehran.<\/p>\n

The two rivals have held four rounds of talks in Iraq since April aimed at improving relations.<\/p>\n

“These talks created a good atmosphere and brought results, albeit small ones, and we are pleased that Saudi Arabia has taken the path of dialogue,” Iran’s top diplomat said.<\/p>\n

“We have different views and approaches on some issues in the region, but the management of differences by the sides can serve the interests of the two nations,” he added.<\/p>\n

Shiite-majority Iran and the Sunni kingdom of Saudi Arabia support rival sides in several conflict zones across the region, including in Syria and Yemen.<\/p>\n

Amir-Abdollahian said a solution to the seven-year-old Yemen war was “political and based on Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue, away from foreign interference”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
