Amir-Abdollahian
TEHRAN, (MNA) – The Iranian foreign minister said Wednesday that Iran and Saudi Arabia civil aviation organizations are discussing the technical issues to resume Umrah Hajj flights.
"We agreed with the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia on technical discussions related to aviation, and the agreement between the two aviation organizations of Iran and Saudi Arabia had expired due to the fact that for the past 7 to 8 years Umrah Hajj had been ceased, " Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said while speaking to reporters after attending a cabinet meeting.
"There were technical discussions about the restoration of flights based on the new agreement, which was the most important technical issue between us," he added.
The minister further noted that "Over the past days, a delegation from the Saudi Arabian Aviation Organization came to our country and completed their technical discussions according to the routine procedure."
"Today I am going to have a phone conversation with my Saudi counterpart and we will review the latest situation together,"
"The Saudi authorities transparently told us that they have given the necessary instructions to resolve this technical problem and that the work is on the right track," he also said.
Regarding the deepening of relations with Pakistan, Amir-Abdollahian emphasized, "In Pakistan, we held very good talks with high-ranking officials of the country. In the next few days, elections will be held in our neighboring country, Pakistan. For us, the issues of economic and commercial cooperation, development of markets and border areas are very important. Our basic approach is to convert the border, where terrorists have been hidden for years, into a border of trade, peace and friendship."
