CAIRO: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Tuesday chaired a meeting of the Arab Ministerial Quartet Committee that focused on several key regional issues including a discussion on Iran’s interference in the region, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 158th regular session of the Council of the Arab League in Cairo.

The committee members accused Iran of meddling in the region, and discussed several reports submitted by the region’s countries, including an update from the Arab League’s secretariat on the matter, SPA reported.
