Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to pave the way for reopening diplomatic missions as the two countries prepare to normalize relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran\u2019s official IRNA news agency reported that the Iranian delegation arrived in Riyadh to reopen the Iranian embassy and consulate &#8220;in accordance with the recent agreement between the two countries,&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few days before, a Saudi delegation made a similar visit to the Iranian capital of Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne team is due to travel to Jeddah to prepare for the reopening of Iran\u2019s consulate there and its representation in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation,&#8221; according to IRNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source added that the other team will stay in Riyadh to reopen the embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On March 10, Iran and Saudi agreed to thaw <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/94504\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">relations<\/a> and reopen their embassies in each other\u2019s country ending their diplomatic rift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On April 6, Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amirabdollahian <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/95969\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">met in Beijing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saudi Arabia cut off relations with Iran in 2016 after Iranian protesters attacked the Saudi embassy in response to Saudi Arabia executing Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tension between the two countries simmered after Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates intervened in the Yemen war, where the Iran-aligned Houthi movement ousted a Saudi-backed government and took over the capital, Sanaa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Emma
