German FM eyes Saudi-Iran mediation ahead of Mideast visit

Berlin, Oct 13, IRNA -- German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier will use his upcoming trip to Iran and Saudi Arabia to mediate between the two regional powers aimed at finding a political solution in the Syrian conflict, German Press Agency dpa reported.

We need the regional actors and we are faced with obstacles when it comes to the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Steinmeier was quoted saying in Luxembourg on the sidelines of a meeting of European Union foreign ministers.

We are trying to build bridges on this issue, he added.

Steinmeier who is scheduled to visit Iran and Saudi Arabia this weekend, has repeatedly stressed Riyadh and Tehran play a key
role in settling the Syrian conflict.
