Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq was briefed by FM Abbas Araghchi “on the Iranian side’s perspectives” regarding the regional developments and the peace efforts, Oman’s foreign ministry says.

Araghchi “listened to His Majesty’s views on ways to advance these efforts in a manner that enhances opportunities for reaching sustainable political solutions and limits the repercussions of crises on the peoples of the region”.

The sultan affirmed the importance of prioritising the language of dialogue and diplomacy in addressing issues, in a way that contributes to consolidating the foundations of peace.

Araghchi expressed Iran’s appreciation for Oman’s positions in “supporting dialogue efforts and enhancing endeavours for security and stability in the region, especially amid the current regional challenges”, the ministry said.
