TEHRAN, IRAN (AP) – Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat arrived in the Iranian capital yesterday, Iranian state media reported.
The state-run IRNA said that Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan is going to meet his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian in Tehran.
Prince Faisal is expected to officially inaugurate the kingdom’s embassy in the capital.
Both nations reopened their diplomatic missions in recent weeks.
In March, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to reestablish diplomatic relations and reopen their embassies after seven years of tension.
Both nations resumed the work of their diplomatic missions in the other country in recent weeks.
The Iranian foreign minister’s visit comes after a visit to Saudi Arabia by the United States (US) Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier in June.
