The foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia spoke by telephone Sunday evening and agreed to meet each other in the coming days, according to Iranian state media.
The exact time and place for the meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud was still to be determined, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
Tehran and Riyadh cut diplomatic relations in January 2016 after the attacks of supporters of the Iranian government on Saudi diplomatic centers in Tehran and Mashhad.
On March 19, the two countries agreed to resume relations in an agreement mediated by China.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomed that development, saying last month, “From our perspective, anything that can help reduce tensions, avoid conflict, and curb in any way dangerous or destabilizing actions by Iran is a good thing.”
