Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has met with Saudi Arabia's top diplomat Faisal bin Farhan on bilateral, regional and international issues.
The two diplomats met on the sidelines of the BRICS foreign ministerial meeting in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod on Tuesday.
In March 2023, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed under a Chinese-brokered deal to revive diplomatic relations severed in 2016.
Iran officially reopened its embassy in Riyadh in June, followed by its consulate in Jeddah and its representative office with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
The Saudi embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad also resumed operations.
Bagheri Kani arrived in western Russia on Monday to attend the BRICS 2024 as an official member.
Saudi Arabia is one of the countries the BRICS group has invited for official membership.
