The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, who has taken a trip to the Saudi city of Jeddah to take part in the extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Foreign Ministers, met with his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, on the sidelines of the meeting.

Why it matters:

Iran and Egypt, two significant Islamic nations in West Asia, maintain limited diplomatic ties through interest sections. Despite this, their perspectives on regional issues hold considerable importance.

 

The big picture:
The senior diplomats discussed bilateral issues, regional developments, and the situation in occupied Palestine.
 

Key points:

  • They rejected any forced displacement of the people of Gaza.
  • Continuation and deepening of solidarity among the Islamic Ummah and the international community with the Palestinian people.
