"Iran believes that the key to achieving mutual security is to build ties based on the neighborliness policy. Iran's moral approach prioritizes its neighbors.

Iran expresses gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its assistance in evacuating Iranians from Sudan.

He also thanked Saudi Arabia for its assistance in relocating 65 Iranian individuals who had been evacuated from Sudan.

"By the way, we saw good coordination between the two countries in these early stages of diplomatic activities regarding a humanitarian issue." The unfortunate circumstances in Sudan have offered chances for humanitarian aid. The relocation of 65 Iranian people from Sudan was a beneficial occurrence that occurred under the shadow of Saudi government collaboration with Iran. I must express my gratitude to the Saudi government for their priceless assistance. "It was a very complicated issue," he explained.

The path of talks won't always be available: Kan’ani

The Iranian a spokesperson said the fact that there are no ongoing talks to resurrect the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement does not indicate that diplomatic efforts are stalling or coming to an end.

"The path to diplomacy is open right now, and communication is ongoing. I want to stress that Iran is prepared to end the negotiations as long as they respect its red lines, but the road to conversation won't always be open.
