Switzerland will handle Saudi Arabia's consular affairs
in Iran and will facilitate Iranian pilgrims coming to the kingdom, Saudi
Arabia's foreign minister said on Sunday, following a diplomatic dispute
between Riyadh and Tehran.
"Switzerland offered to ... handle the
(consular) interests of Saudi Arabia in Iran, and we in the kingdom of Saudi
Arabia appreciated that and accepted," Adel al-Jubeir told a joint news
conference with his Swiss counterpart.
He also said, however, there was no need for
mediation in its rift with Iran.
