Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman met with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Thursday, delivering a letter from King Salman, according to Iranian state media.
During the meeting, Khamenei expressed support for closer ties between the two countries.
“It is much better for brothers in the region to cooperate and help each other than to rely on others,” he added.
The meeting marked the first time Khamenei has received a Saudi official since 2006, when then-Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal visited Tehran.
During his trip, Prince Khalid also met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Akbar Ahmadian, and chief of staff of the armed forces Mohammad Bagheri.
“Iran and Saudi Arabia can resolve many of the region’s problems by relying on their joint capacities and without the need for foreign intervention,” Pezeshkian said during his meeting with the Saudi defense chief, according to IRNA.
