Iran seeks the policy of mutual respect and strengthening of cooperation with the Arab countries, an Iranian deputy foreign minister said Monday.
"Iran and Saudi Arabia are two key countries and main players in the region, and our interaction, cooperation and consultations can help resolve many problems in the region and even in the Muslim world," reported Xinhua citing Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
