Iran says Saudi ready to move reconciliation talks to higher level
Iran and Saudi Arabia are ready to move reconciliation talks to a higher level, more than a year after they began and six years after the two rivals severed relations, Iran's foreign minister says.
Since April last year Iraq has hosted five rounds of talks between Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shiite-majority Iran, which support opposing sides in various conflicts around the region.
"Progress has been made in these negotiations," Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in an interview with Iran's state broadcaster on Thursday night.
