Iran-Saudi Talks Move Ahead as Tehran Says Diplomat Visas Issued - Bloomberg

Iran and Saudi Arabia appeared to have made progress in their efforts to repair ties as Tehran said three Iranian diplomats had been granted visas to be based in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

Speaking to reporters alongside his Iraqi counterpart, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said Baghdad-brokered talks with the kingdom had gone well, and officials in Riyadh responded positively to “constructive proposals” made by Tehran.

These included re-rebuilding official diplomatic links by granting visas for three Iranian diplomats to be based at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a Jeddah-based body consisting of 57 Muslim countries.

Saudi Arabia’s Center for International Communication didn’t immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
