Iran’s embassy in Saudi Arabia to reopen on Tuesday

A diplomatic source told AFP that Iran will reopen its embassy in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after a seven-year hiatus, completing a reconciliation agreement mediated by China and announced in March.

Alireza Enayati, a former Iranian ambassador to Kuwait, will supervise the resumption of Iran’s diplomatic presence.

A diplomatic source in Riyadh told AFP on Monday that “the opening of the Iranian embassy will take place Tuesday at 6:00 pm local time (1500 GMT) with the presence of the newly appointed Iranian ambassador” to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has not yet announced a new ambassador or a date for when its embassy in Tehran will reopen.
