King Abdullah: Tehran-Riyadh Ties Strong Saudi Arabian King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz termed Tehran-Riyadh relations as unbreakable, noting that the ties between the two major Muslim nations have a firm basis.
The Saudi king made the remarks during a meeting with Iran’s Intelligence Minister Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei on Tuesday, who was in Riyadh to deliver President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s message to King Abdullah.
During the meeting, the Saudi king referred to brotherly relations with the Islamic Republic, stressing that the two states are influential nations in the Muslim world, IRNA reported.
King Abdullah reiterated the necessity of Iranian and Saudi officials discussing important regional developments.
The Saudi king said the two nations have a grave responsibility in the Muslim world and stressed his country’s strong will and determination to cement ties with the Islamic Republic.
Mohseni-Ejei, for his part, reiterated Iran’s desire for expansion of ties and called for continuation of negotiations between Iranian and Saudi officials over regional issues, including the ongoing situation in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.
Ejei also urged regional states to play a more effective role in reducing Iraq’s problems.
The minister also called for the Saudi officials’ serious action against those who insulted Iranian pilgrims.
Earlier, Hamid Habibi, the head of Iran’s Haj & Pilgrimage Organization’s Representative Office in Saudi Arabia, said the abusive behavior of some Saudi police forces at the holy shrines, particularly those at the Baqi Cemetery, was a relatively new problem with which the Iranian pilgrims were grappling during this year’s minor pilgrimage.
