Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, announced on Monday that canceling visas with some countries, including Saudi Arabia, is a “subject under investigation” by the ministry.
Kanaani said, in a press conference, “There are several plans and ideas being discussed with the relevant institutions, and it is necessary and natural to send the expert and the final summary to the Council of Ministers after studying all the political and security aspects, in accordance with the law of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” according to the Iranian News Agency (IRNA). .
Saudi Arabia and Iran reached an agreement on March 10, 2023, sponsored by China, stipulating the return of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the reopening of the two embassies.
Regarding relations with Egypt, he stated that there have been “positive developments recently, after the talks between the two countries and the meeting of the foreign ministers of the two countries in New York.”
He added, “These talks will continue with the joint political will that has been formed,” stressing that Iran is “serious about developing relations with regional and Islamic countries, and will respond to every positive step with a positive step.”
According to the agency, the spokesman expressed his “hope to create a new atmosphere and positive steps between Iran and Egypt.”
It is noteworthy that the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, last month, that Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, at the headquarters of Egypt’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York.
The ministry spokesman said, via the “X” platform: “The foreign ministers of Egypt and Iran are now meeting at the headquarters of the Permanent Mission of Egypt to the United Nations,” and published pictures of the meeting.
Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi described the meeting as “it could be a step to start developing relations” between Tehran and Cairo.
Relations between Cairo and Tehran deteriorated after the “Islamic Revolution” in Iran, and witnessed a noticeable improvement during the era of the late Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, but the development of relations did not last long with the removal of Morsi and the “Muslim Brotherhood” from power, as relations returned to a state of stagnation again.
