According to Al Jazeera, he called on regional countries to cooperate to establish peace and security. The remarks came as tensions continue in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea among forces engaged in the region, and after Bahrain had earlier said it would not participate in Iran's proposed meeting on the Strait of Hormuz.
