Iran reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Al Arabiya information reported. The reopening comes a number of months after the 2 nations agreed to renew diplomatic relations.
On March 10, after a number of days of intensive negotiations hosted by China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia agreed to revive diplomatic ties and reopen embassies seven years after their relations had been severed.
In a joint assertion after signing the settlement, Tehran and Riyadh highlighted the necessity to respect every others’ nationwide sovereignty and chorus from interfering within the inside affairs of each other.
