Iran FM calls for urgent OIC meeting
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Mauritanian counterpart Mohamed Salem Ould Merzoug held a phone conversation late Friday, congratulating each other on the holy month of Ramadan and discussing bilateral ties and regional developments, particularly the situation in Palestine.
Amir-Abdollahian congratulated the top Mauritanian diplomat on the successful holding of the meeting of the OIC’s foreign ministers in Nouakchott and invited him to visit Tehran, which was welcomed by the top Mauritanian diplomat.
The two foreign ministers held talks over the current situation in Palestine and the recent acts of aggression by the Israeli regime, as well as their desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and raid on Palestinian worshippers.
Amir-Abdollahian and Merzoug underlined the need for united action by Islamic countries in order to counter the Israeli regime’s aggression.
Given that Mauritania holds the presidency of the OIC, pushing for an emergency meeting of the organization was another issue the Iranian and Mauritanian foreign ministers discussed.
