Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said his country is keen to boost relations with Iran, but at the same time said promotion of ties between Tehran and Riyadh hinges on the Islamic Republic’s foreign policies, Al-Alam News Network reports.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, in Berlin on Monday, Jubeir said Riyadh is willing to develop good relations with Tehran.
He said, however, that Iran should change what he called “its hostile policy” in the Middle East region, the London-based Ashraq Al-Awsat newspaper reported.
Iran should avoid “interfering” in the internal affairs of the Persian Gulf littoral states and Arab countries including Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, he asserted, without mentioning his country’s role in the regional countries’ crises.
