Amir-Abdollahian says the talks were frank, fruitful and based on good neighborly relations. The top Iranian diplomat said the need for sustainable bilateral relations in all fields was stressed. He added that Tehran and Riyadh both agree on “security and development for all” in the region. Bin Salman, meanwhile, described Saudi relations with Iran as strategic, stressing that Riyadh is seriously determined in this regard. The meeting took place a day after the Iranian foreign minister held talks with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan in the capital Riyadh. In a joint presser after the talks, the two officials hailed steps by their countries to restore and enhance bilateral ties.
Coup in Niger
Military chiefs of West Africa's main regional bloc have agreed on a date for possible military intervention in the coup-hit Niger. The defense chiefs of the 15-member ECOWAS say they are ready to act whenever an order is given. The alliance is also warning that it would not engage in endless dialogue with Niger’s junta. This is while the bloc says it prefers a peaceful solution and that military action would be the last option. Niger has been in turmoil since late July, when military officers deposed President Mohamed Bazoum. They’ve so far defied calls from the UN, ECOWAS and the West to return power to the president.
