Regional countries should cooperate and collaborate with each other through wisdom, rationality and honest dialogue, Rouhani said, adding, “Unfortunately, paving suitable ways for the Zionist regime will cause spread of insecurity and instability in the region and it is really surprising to us that some neighboring countries consider their security in the shadow of their relationship with the criminal Zionist regime which is the enemy of all regions and Islamic countries.”
Rouhani further noted that regional countries can settle their problems themselves amicably and peacefully, adding, “There is no doubt that the two countries of Iran and Qatar will witness better conditions in regional ties with the help of each other.”
