Iranian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Alireza Enayati described as “very important” Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman’s visit to Tehran on Friday.

In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, he noted Prince Khalid’s meetings with senior Iranian officials to discuss bilateral relations and regional issues.

The visit is evidence that bilateral relations are moving forward at a rapid pace since they were restored less than two years ago, he added.

Speaking from Tehran, Enayati hoped that the visit would have a positive impact in the region, underlining Saudi Arabia and Iran’s importance in the region.

Prince Khalid met in Tehran with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, President Masoud Pezeshkian, chief of staff of Iran's Armed Forces Mohammad Bagheri, and Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) General Ali Akbar Ahmadian

Discussions focused on the “fruitful, constructive and positive” relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, continued Enayati.

They also tackled issues that concern the region and its security and stability, as well as support to the Palestinian cause, he remarked.

Prince Khalid traveled to Iran at the directives of the Saudi leadership. He handed Khamenei a written message from Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

He added that he discussed with Khamenei issues of common interest and bilateral relations between their countries.

Enayati stressed the need for Saudi Arabia and Iran to invest their major capabilities in developing relations.

Khamenei underscored the importance of Saudi-Iranian ties and the need for their continuity for the interests of all parties, the ambassador said.

Prince Khalid’s visit reflects the determination of both countries to develop and bolster their ties further.

The region, he stressed, needs solidarity between its nations, especially between Saudi Arabia and Iran, added Enayati.
