Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received a telephone call from his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty on Tuesday, the Saudi Press Agency reported. During the call, they discussed regional developments and emphasized the importance of intensifying efforts to halt escalation in order to preserve regional peace and security.
The call came after Israel struck targets in Iran for the first time since a ceasefire in April on Monday, following Iran's missile launches at Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Lebanon's capital. Both Israel and Iran halted hostilities on Monday shortly after former President Trump called for an end to the exchange, though each side left the door open for a possible resumption.
Prince Faisal also held a telephone conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago, Sean Sobers. During the call, the Saudi minister congratulated his counterpart on Trinidad and Tobago's election as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2027-2028 term. He expressed hope for enhanced coordination and cooperation between their countries to contribute to regional and international security and stability. They also discussed various topics and issues of common interest.
