Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Saturday held talks with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi during his landmark visit to the Islamic republic following a seven-year rupture. The Iranian Foreign Minister told that they had discussing ways of bolstering cooperation in the fields of security, economy, tourism and transportation.
