TEHRAN -- The Iranian foreign ministry's spokesman said on Monday that Iran sees no problem with building relations with Egypt.

At a weekly press conference, Nasser Kanaani hailed the talks between the Iranian foreign minister and his Egyptian counterpart on the sidelines of a recent regional conference in Jordan's capital Amman as "positive."

More talks are being held to resolve consular issues between the two countries, he added.

Speaking of the Iraqi prime minister's recent proposal to facilitate talks between Iran and Egypt, Kanaani said Iran "welcomes any positive steps taken for Iran-Egypt relations," reaffirming Tehran's rapprochement regional policy.

In recent years, Iran has announced readiness to mend ties with Egypt by settling differences on certain issues.
