Iran, Thailand FMs Hold Talks in Doha
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Thai counterpart Parnpree Bahiddha-nukara held talks in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.
Expressing satisfaction with the meeting and referring to the situation in Gaza, the Thai top diplomat voiced concern about the current developments in the Palestinian enclave.
He urged Iran to play a role in helping to release a number of Thai nationals who, according to him, have been captured by the forces of the Hamas movement during the recent developments.
Elaborating on Tehran’s view vis- -vis the current developments in Palestine, the Iranian foreign minister said he would convey Thailand’s request to the political officials of the Hamas movement. Amirabdollahian noted that Hamas is a liberation movement that does not seek to take hostages, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website reported.
He added: “With the discussions I had today with the high political officials of the Hamas movement, the issue of such citizens was also discussed. Hamas officials have emphasized that if the relentless attacks of the Zionist regime on Gaza stop, they are ready to consider such requests and proceed to release such citizens immediately.”
The top Iranian diplomat also congratulated his Thai counterpart on his appointment as the foreign minister.
Amirabdollahian referred to the ancient and friendly relations between Tehran and Bangkok and invited Thailand's top diplomat to visit the Islamic Republic of Iran.
While thanking and welcoming the invitation, the foreign minister of Thailand reciprocally invited Amirabdollahian to visit his country.
