Iran considers Saudi Arabia as a strategic partner with a special significance and that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi seeks to push “neighborly ties” with the kingdom after years of frozen ties, the Islamic Republic’s newly-appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia says.
Alireza Enayati, in an interview with the Arabic-language Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in Riyadh on Sunday, said the Iranian president had instructed him to do his utmost “to strengthen brotherly and friendly relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.”
Iran and Saudi Arabia restored ties and reopened embassies in March after a seven-year hiatus due to differences over several issues, including the Saudi-led war on Yemen.
Enayati said, “What has been realized in the past six months heralds a prosperous future. We have a strong will to develop Iran-Saudi relations, and we have noticed the same feeling among our Saudi brothers.”
