Iran also felt that the federa­tion was too much a "British ideaand thus did not meet the requi·rement that any such union be 10­tally insyired and controlled.

al.Relations between the two co..

untries appear to be friendly agoam and they entered into nego­tIatIons' to cooperate on issuessuch as Persian Gulf security andsharing the waters of the oil-richPcrsian Gulf continental shelf.

They signed an agreement lastmonth .democrating the gulf con­tinental shel! border line and set­tled the status of two disputedgulf islands. the Arabi and theFarsi. They recognised Iran's so­vereignty over Farsi and SaudiArabia's sovereignty over Arabi.

Among the subjects expected tobe discussed in Riadh during theShah's visit are Persian Gulf oilnavigation and trade. And the ar:ea's s~curity ag,ainst outside ag­gressIOn, as well as Iran-Saudi

economic and cultural coopera-tion. .

Discussions on the seven-mo6nth-old Persian Gulf Federation­of Aro\> emirates will also figurelargely in the talks. ,

IrJl'll's position has been thatthe Sheikhdoms should be encou­raged to cooperate with other re­gional powers in ensuring thearea,'s defence, onCe the Britishtroops leave the gulf. •

But Iran has not approved oftile federation in its prt!serit fo­nn. It objects to the-fact that thefederation came Into bemg befo­re settlement of Iran's sovereign­ty claim to Bahrein and other

islands in the gulf.
