Jalil Rahimi-Jahanabadi, a member of Majlis (Parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, told IRNA on Monday that joint investment and deep economic ties can strengthen the rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Rahimi-Jahanabadi said that if deep economic ties are formed between Iran and Saudi Arabia to serve their common interests, the two Muslim countries could enjoy a friendship that cannot be affected by religious or political tensions.
He underlined that despite wasting time for military tensions, the two countries could spend more time on fostering bilateral cooperation.
On March 10, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia issued a joint statement in Beijing announcing they would resume their diplomatic relations after some seven years.
