RIYADH: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received a telephone call from his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty on Tuesday.
During the call, they discussed developments in the region and the importance of intensifying efforts to halt escalation in order to preserve regional peace and security, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The call came after Israel struck targets in Iran for the first time since a ceasefire in April on Monday, after Iran fired missiles at Israel in what Tehran said was retaliation for Israeli strikes on Lebanon’s capital.
Israel and Iran both called a halt to the exchange on Monday shortly after Trump told them to stop hostilities, although they each left the door open to a possible resumption.
Prince Faisal also held a telephone conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago Sean Sobers.
During the call, the Kingdom’s foreign minister congratulated his counterpart on the election of Trinidad and Tobago as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for 2027-2028.
He expressed hope for enhanced coordination and cooperation between their countries to contribute to regional and international security and stability.
They also discussed a number of topics and issues of common interest.
