Tehran, Mar 21 (UNI) Iran is ready to resume economic relations with all Arab countries in the Middle East region, following the recent agreement on the restoration of diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia, Iranian Economy Minister Ehsan Khandozi told Sputnik.
"Based on the neighborhood policy, our government is fully prepared to resume economic relations with all countries of the region [Middle East] and regards enhancing good neighborly relations with them as a factor in strengthening the region itself. Countries like Saudi Arabia will have an opportunity for economic cooperation with Iran," Khandozi said.
