ALBAWABA - Iran's Foreign Minister  Hossein Amir-Abdollahian tweeted that he met his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, who told him that Riyadh is interested in resuming a dialogue with Tehran, which started last year.

 

The talks between the two countries first started on April 9, 2021 and continued thereafter in Baghdad, with Iraq serving as the go-between. Since then, both sides held several meetings to re-establish relation severed on Jan. 3, 2016, a day after protesters ransacked the Saudi Embassy in  Tehran and set it ablaze.
