The heads of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia and Iran held their first official meeting in seven years. The resumption of relations between Riyadh and Tehran will negatively affect US capabilities in the region. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
The heads of the foreign ministries of the two countries met for the first time in 7 years of “silence” at the international level. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud organized a meeting in the Chinese capital.
The Saudi newspaper Ash-Sharq al-Awsat, citing its sources, previously stated that China was preparing for a meeting between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Riyadh and Tehran want to renew an agreement to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries. The sources of the newspaper explained why China became the center of application. They believe that the choice of Beijing as the venue for the meeting is determined by the role of the Celestial Empire in reaching an agreement between these countries.
It is noted that the ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia spoke on the phone more than once before the meeting. They discussed possible steps that Tehran and Riyadh are ready to take to restore diplomatic relations.
