According to Saudi
state media early on Thursday, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran
will shortly meet to lay the groundwork for the reopening of embassies and
consulates in the two nations.
According to reports
from the Saudi News Agency and Al-Ekhbariyah, Hossein Amirabdollahian, the
foreign minister of Iran, and Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the foreign minister of
Saudi Arabia, reached an agreement over the phone.
The diplomats also
wished each other a happy beginning to the holy month of Ramadan.

hostility, the Kingdom and Iran decided on March 10 to reestablish diplomatic
ties and reopen their embassies within two months.
According to
Amirabdollahian, three places have been suggested for the meeting.
