Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said that he accepted the invitation of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia to visit Riyadh.
The Saudi ruler sent an invitation to the Iranian president late last month. This message was another step towards rapprochement between the two countries, which had previously signed an agreement on the restoration of bilateral relations.
Commenting on Raisi’s decision, Mokhber noted that now strengthening contacts with neighboring countries is one of the priorities of the Iranian government.
as it reminds FANIn March, Iran and Saudi Arabia announced the resumption of diplomatic relations that had broken off in 2016.
Contacts between Tehran and Riyadh were cut off after protesters protesting the execution of Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr seized the Saudi embassy in Iran’s capital.
