An Iranian technical delegation has arrived in Saudi Arabia to prepare for the reopening of the Iranian Embassy in Riyadh and consulate in Jeddah, Iran's IRNA news agency reported on Wednesday.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said last Sunday that a delegation would visit Saudi Arabia by Friday to pave the way for reopening its diplomatic missions there following a similar move by Riyadh.
The development comes a day after a Saudi delegation arrived in Tehran on a similar diplomatic trip, and follows a historic meeting between the two Gulf countries' foreign ministers in China.
