Iran, Saudi ministers meet in China to cement reconciliation
The foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia have met in China in the first formal meeting of the two countries top diplomats in 7 years.
Saudi Arabia's state-run broadcaster Al Ekhbariya released brief footage of the meeting on Twitter on Thursday showing Prince Faisal bin Farhan and his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, shaking hands and smiling in front of a traditional Chinese painting as well as the flags of their respective countries.
Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed in March to restore ties and reopen diplomatic missions within two months after a years-long rift that raised tensions in the Gulf region and deepened conflicts from Yemen to Syria.
