The two leaders exchanged greetings and expressed their mutual wishes for peace and prosperity for their nations and the broader region.
During the conversation, the leaders reviewed several key developments and issues of mutual interest, with a particular emphasis on ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations. This call comes as part of a broader diplomatic initiative by Iran to enhance ties with Islamic countries and neighboring nations.
Earlier this week, President Pezeshkian engaged in similar discussions with leaders from Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Bahrain, as reported by the Iranian news agency IRNA. In these calls, he extended an invitation to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for a visit to Iran to further discussions on expanding bilateral cooperation.
