Saudi, Iran foreign ministers to meet during Ramadan

Saudi Arabia and Iran's top diplomats spoke by phone late Sunday on the status of a recent agreement to restore diplomatic relation and their upcoming meeting.

In a statement, Iran's Foreign Ministry said Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud discussed their meeting scheduled during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. 
It did not specify the exact date and venue of the meeting, however, which will mark a big step forward toward restoring diplomatic ties between the two arch-foes. 
Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to resume diplomatic ties and reopen diplomatic missions after intensive deliberations in Beijing earlier this month. The breakthrough came after two years of marathon talks hosted by Iraq and Oman.
In the Sunday night phone call, the top diplomats 'discussed the latest developments regarding the agreement on restoring bilateral ties' and the 'constructive path of relations between the two countries,' the statement noted.
