RIYADH: Iran’s embassy in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh reopened on Tuesday, according to Al Arabiya.

In March, both countries agreed to overcome a diplomatic schism through a deal negotiated by China.

“We consider today to be an important day in the relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Alireza Bigdeli said at a flag-raising ceremony.

“The cooperation between countries is entering a new era,” he continued.

“Iran’s embassy in Riyadh, our Consulate General in Jeddah, and our office to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be officially reopened on Tuesday and Wednesday,” Nasser Kanaani, spokesman for the Iranian foreign ministry, said on Monday.
