Neighborly diplomacy: Iran new admin working to boost UAE, Saudi relations
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has reiterated Iran's resolve to cooperate with all neighbors, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), saying the two countries can make strides toward promoting good neighborliness in the region.
In a post on his Twitter account late on Tuesday, Amir-Abdollahian said he had “a positive and cordial conversation” with UAE Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on the sidelines of the Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership which was held on August 28.
The top Iranian diplomat said during his conversation with the Emirati premier, the two sides “spoke about the positive intentions and will of the two countries’ leaders to strengthen ties and emphasized fraternal relations between the two states.”
“Iran and the UAE can take big steps toward cooperation and realization of the policy and diplomacy of [good] neighborliness,” he said.
“We consult, converge and cooperate with neighbors in order to advance our relations and make regional cooperation happen,” he said. “Working with neighbors is a priority for the 13th [Iranian] administration.”
On Saturday, Sheikh Mohammad said in a tweet that he had met the Iranian foreign minister on the sidelines of the Baghdad summit.
He wished Amir-Abdollahian success in developing positive ties with neighboring countries.
