(Reuters) – Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said on Saturday the kingdom was looking to schedule a fifth round of direct talks with Iran despite a “lack of substantive progress” in previous rounds.
Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, also voiced hope there was a serious desire by Iran to find a “new modus operandi” in the region.
Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shi’ite Iran are locked in several proxy conflicts around the region, including in Yemen.
