Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian, have agreed to meet soon and pave the way for the re-opening of embassies under a deal to re-establish ties, Saudi state news agency SPA said on Thursday.
Earlier this month, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to revive relations, and the ministers spoke by phone to mark the occasion of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, SPA said.
Amirabdollahian emphasised during the call Iran's readiness to strengthen relations with Saudi Arabia, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported.
The foreign ministers of the two countries agreed to meet each other as soon as possible and start preparations for the reopening of embassies and consulates, IRNA added.
The deal between the regional powers, brokered by China, was announced after previously undisclosed talks in Beijing between top security officials from the two countries.
