The regional heavyweights are looking to overcome past hostility and boost cooperation.
DUBAI: Saudi Arabia and Iran are making progress on mending ties, Iran’s foreign minister said after meeting with his counterpart in Riyadh today, as two regional heavyweights seek to overcome past hostility and boost cooperation.
His visit to the kingdom comes months after Prince Faisal met with Iranian officials in Tehran in June on his first trip to the Islamic Republic country after a China-brokered deal between the regional rivals in March to resume ties. Saudi Arabia broke ties with Iran in 2016 after protesters attacked its embassy in Tehran in retaliation for Riyadh’s execution of a prominent Shiite cleric.
Prince Faisal said the kingdom hoped to see Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi visit the kingdom following King Salman bin Abdulaziz’s invitation, which he had communicated during the June visit.Prince Faisal said the kingdom was keen to follow through with all main points of the China-brokered deal whether economic or political, adding the countries’ ambassadors will start in their positions in their respective embassies after their reopening.
