The claim of the Iraqi newspaper about the possible trip of the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia to Baghdad.
An Iraqi newspaper claimed that “the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia are expected to arrive in Baghdad to announce the restoration of relations.”
An Iraqi government source in an interview with the Iraqi newspaper “Al-Madi” claimed that the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia are likely to attend Baghdad.
The aforementioned source, whose name was not mentioned, claimed in an interview with this Iraqi newspaper: “The stage of security meetings has ended and today we have entered the stage of holding meetings with a diplomatic dimension. The foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia are expected to come to Baghdad to announce the restoration of relations.
Fars news agency cannot confirm or deny the claim of the newspaper.
This claim has been made on Tuesday evening while the Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, published in London, recently quoted an informed Iraqi source as claiming that the resumption of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran is likely to take place in Baghdad and with the presence of officials from the two countries. And also “Mustafa Al-Kazemi” the Prime Minister and “Fouad Hossein” the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq will be announced.
“Al-Sharq Al-Awsat” newspaper, quoting the source, claimed that Al-Kazemi’s talks during his trip to Jeddah and Tehran led to the determination of many disputed cases between the two sides, which may lead to a reduction of tensions throughout the region.
The “Russia Alyoum” network recently reported, quoting an Iraqi government source: “The previous five meetings held in Baghdad between Tehran and Riyadh were at the security and intelligence level; “But the upcoming meeting will be at the diplomatic level.”
These reports have been published while Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian recently announced that Tehran welcomes the resumption of relations with Saudi Arabia, the reopening of the embassies of the two countries, and the start of political dialogue.
So far, five rounds of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia have been held in Baghdad, hosted by Iraq, and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi visited Saudi Arabia and Iran in early July.
