Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Javad Zarif on Tuesday welcomed Qatar's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani's call for inclusive dialogue in the region.

"Iran welcomes my brother FM @MBA_AlThani_'s call for inclusive dialogue in our region. As we have consistently emphasized, the solution to our challenges lies in collaboration to jointly form a 'strong region': peaceful, stable, prosperous & free from global or regional hegemony," Zarif tweeted.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, HE Sheikh Mohamed had urged Gulf Arab nations to enter a dialogue with Iran, saying the time was right for Doha to broker negotiations now the neighbors have begun to patch up their own differences.
