Tajani: ‘We support the mediation of Oman’
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani yesterday met Foreign Minister Omanita Badr Albusaidi, who arrived in Rome in the role of mediator for the new round of high -level interviews between the United States and Iran.
The first US-Iran interviews on the nuclear program were held in Mascate on April 12 at the residence of Minister Albusiadi. At the request of the parties, the second session of the interviews is now hosted in Italy. In the meeting, Tajani greeted the mediation action carried out by Oman: “There is total support of Italy to the mediation of Oman between the USA and Iran”. Minister Omanita expressed profound appreciation for the availability offered by the Italian government to facilitate dialogue between the parties in a peaceful and productive environment.
“In front of the numerous political and securitarian challenges in a context of strong regional volatility, Italy is ready to accompany any further initiative in favor of peace and international stability,” said Tajani. On the Italian side, the hope that these interviews could imprint a decisive acceleration to the negotiation between the US administration and the Iranian government for the identification of a diplomatic solution necessary for the stability of the entire Middle East were therefore expressed.
A theme that is at the center of the Italian diplomatic action, starting from the constant contacts of Minister Tajani with the US administration, with the Iranian counterpart Araghchi and to the frequent interlocutions with the general manager of the AIEA GROSSI.
