A Saudi source confirmed that his country will not be a party to the West’s conflict with China
Yesterday (Thursday), a Saudi source considered that the most important points in the agreement with Iran are “secret and cannot be disclosed.” He revealed that the Iranians were seeking to hold meetings with high-ranking Saudi officials before the agreement concluded in Beijing last Friday, which stipulated the resumption of the severed relations between them since 2016, and the reopening of the two embassies within two months.
The source responsible for joint Saudi-Iranian support for the Yemeni crisis announced, revealing that the timing of the signing of the agreement with Iran was not in vain by the Kingdom.
The source explained that the negotiations with Iran included respect for the sovereignty of states, adding that Riyadh could cooperate with Tehran to serve both sides.
According to Al-Arabiya channel, the Saudi negotiating delegation included representatives of defense, foreign affairs, intelligence and state security, explaining that the Saudi-Iranian negotiation meetings continued in Beijing for 5 days, and dealt with 3 points.
He pointed out that China had a great interest in the stability and smoothness of trade and navigation in the Gulf, stressing that the Chinese role increases reassurance of Iran’s commitment to the agreement with Saudi Arabia, according to the Wall Street Journal.
According to the source, China helped Riyadh put pressure on the Iranian side during the negotiations, stressing the existence of a bilateral security and defense commitment with Iran not to attack militarily, security and intelligence.
He explained that Riyadh had informed its allies, including the United States, before going to Beijing and signing with Iran.
