Where a number of issues related to the Middle East in addition to the negative effects of the continuation of the conflict and the escalation of violence in the region have been discussed, by the fact that most parties of conflict were reluctant to resort to dialogue and negotiation. In the same context, it has been talking about an initiative to hold an expanded Saudi-Iranian dialogue in the presence of a group of writers, researchers and intellectuals from both of two parties to bring the views together and expand the base of participants between them, as they represent a strategic and important neighborhood with Iraq, and another dialogue initiative related to the Kurdish issue and the position of the Kurds in Iraq and neighboring countries.
