Doha (ANTARA) - The spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Majed Al Ansari, stated on Tuesday that the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States marks the first step towards achieving a broader regional consensus and ensuring stability in the region.

“The current agreement is the first step towards realising a wider regional consensus, which will guarantee stability in this region,” Al Ansari said during a press conference.

He expressed hope that the signing of the memorandum between Iran and the US, which is expected to be attended by Qatari officials, would mark the beginning of productive future negotiations.
