Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi who arrived in Saudi Arabia on the first leg of his regional tour says West Asia needs vigilance, wisdom, courage and cooperation in order to deal with emerging challenges and problems.

Araghchi took to his X social media network and published several messages on Wednesday night following his meeting with Saudi officials including Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

I had “very important discussions on critical issues of common concern with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,” Araghchi wrote in his post along with a picture of his meeting with Bin Salman, according to IRNA’s Thursday morning report.

I am happy that today we took the first steps in a long journey with our Saudi counterpart, the top Iranian diplomat wrote with reference to his meeting with Faisal bin Farhan.

In yet another message on his X media platform in Farsi, the Iranian Foreign Minister prayed for the dignity and pride of all Muslims.

Although I did not have the opportunity to visit the holy place, the trip to the land of revelation and the birthplace of the Prophet (may God's blessings and peace be upon him), was very pleasant and relaxing, Araghchi mentioned in his post with pictures of Islam's two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina.

I pray for the dignity and pride of all Muslims, especially the oppressed but heroic people of Palestine and Lebanon, he added.
