LONDON — Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan emphasized that the nuclear agreement with Iran is not ideal and that it must address the concerns of neighboring countries.

Speaking to reporters in London on Tuesday, the minister said: “We are open to dialogue with Iran.” He stressed that the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the White House is very good. “China is one of our biggest trading allies, as it is with the rest of the world,” he said.

Referring to the Syrian issue, Prince Faisal said that there is a consensus that the situation in Syria is not acceptable. “There is a dialogue for Syria’s return to the Arab fold, but it is too early to talk about that,” he said.

On the Palestinian issue, he stressed that Saudi Arabia’s position is clear on the Palestinian issue, which is the stability and security of the Palestinians. “We face the possibility of greater violence if the Palestinian issue is not resolved,” he added.
