New York – Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan engaged in a series of diplomatic discussions during his visit to New York on Saturday, according to a statement released by the Saudi foreign ministry. One of the key highlights of his visit was a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, which focused on regional and international developments. The talks aimed to build upon the recent normalization of ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which took place in March.
In addition to his meeting with the Iranian foreign minister, Prince Faisal also held discussions with various other foreign officials. He met with Cypriot president Nikos Christodoulides, during which they discussed bilateral relations and international affairs. Prince Faisal conveyed warm greetings from King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to President Christodoulides and the Cypriot people.
Furthermore, the Saudi foreign minister met with the Turkish and Thai foreign ministers, Hakan Fidan and Panpree Phahitthanukorn, respectively. The discussions with these officials centered around strengthening cooperation and enhancing relations between the respective countries. The meetings were attended by Saudi Arabia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Abdulaziz Al-Wasil.
Prince Faisal’s diplomatic engagements in New York reflect Saudi Arabia’s commitment to engaging with regional and international partners. The normalization of ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran earlier this year marked a significant step towards fostering stability and cooperation in the region. These recent meetings with various foreign officials demonstrate Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts to build constructive relationships and promote dialogue on matters of mutual interest.
As the discussions continue, it remains to be seen how these diplomatic efforts will shape regional dynamics and contribute to the broader goals of peace and stability in the Middle East.
