Bangladesh welcomes renewed ties between Iran, Saudi Arabia: FM​

Foreign minister AK Abdul Momen has said that Bangladesh is a peace-loving country and welcomes the move by Iran and Saudi Arabia to restore diplomatic ties.

‘We believe that it will contribute to reducing tension and conflict in the Gulf region, foster stability, and create the path for durable and sustainable long-term peace for the betterment of the brotherly peoples in the Middle East region,’ the minister told reporters on Sunday.

‘Bangladesh lauds the role played by China, Iraq, and Oman for facilitating the negotiation, leading to the successful breakthrough,’ he added.

Iran and Saudi Arabia on Friday agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations and reopen embassies after seven years of tensions. The major diplomatic breakthrough negotiated with China lowers the chance of armed conflict between the Mideast rivals – both directly and in proxy conflicts around the region.

The deal, struck in Beijing this week amid its ceremonial National People’s Congress, represents a major diplomatic victory for the Chinese as Gulf Arab states perceive the US slowly withdrawing from the wider Middle East. It also comes as diplomats have been trying to end a long war in Yemen, a conflict in which both Iran and Saudi Arabia are deeply entrenched.

The two countries released a joint communique on the deal with China, which brokered the agreement as President Xi Jinping was awarded a third five-year term as leader on March 10.

 
Our FM is not aware that the SA-Iran relationship will remain divided unless the Yemeni Huiti problem with SA is solved.

The present dialogue for peace is only a superficial one without heart. SA should ask more BD troops to safeguard its southern border with Yemen.

After reading this news, I have to believe that BD is now ready to take over the place of America in the greater ME.

The big head of our Alga Momen is thinking why America, Australia, India, China and EU, all are sending important delegates to Dhaka if not wooing BD to take over the place of America in the ME.

Joy Bangla!!!
 
Saudi Arabia and Iran are breathing a sigh of relief as they have managed to avoid Momen's ire - they have arranged special prayers to celebrate.

Haha but I don't think Iranian and Saudi rapprochement will last long. Both will start fighting each other soon. It's a historic Arab-Persian rivalry and hatred.

No, Persia is not fighting against Saudi ARAB. It is Houthi Arabs in Yemen fighting SA on behalf of and with the help of Persia.

BD military is in SA to protect it from Yemeni attacks supported by Iran. SA needs more BD troops in its south to face Houthi rebels.

Do you think India will play her traditional role of spoiler in the region?
 
India is not in the middle eastern region.

India and Indians regularly claim to 'run' most of the Gulf States. They make up the biggest chunk as 'immigrants' in the middle east. Prior to this settlement brokered by China, India had been finalising major contracts with everyone in the middle east.

Talk to Indians then, I am not interested.
 
I gathered that from the first response. The reason i asked you is simply you share the same optimism on the deal as an Indian. Think of it like you are the next best thing to replace an Indian opinion.

There are hundreds of Indians here, you don't need the next best opinion. Leave this useless banter, please.

Dear MBS, you are playing a dangerous game.
May Allah be with you. May Allah protect you.
