They reaffirmed the importance of an immediate termination of the hostilities, which are having a negative impact on the Persian Gulf countries, primarily their civilian infrastructure. They also expressed a shared opinion that the United States and Iran should continue their political and diplomatic efforts with Pakistan’s mediation.

Sergey Lavrov and Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud also called for a dialogue involving all interested parties to coordinate conditions that would guarantee long-term stability and security in the region based on a balance of interests of all regional countries. Russia and Saudi Arabia are ready to contribute to the organisation of this dialogue.
