In a deal mediated by China on Friday, Saudi Arabia and Iran decided to resume diplomatic ties between the two nations.

The three nations declared that Iran and Saudi Arabia had achieved a deal that calls for their embassies and missions to reopen in two months. The pact stipulates that it respects the sovereignty of states and refrains from meddling in their internal affairs.

They also agreed that the foreign ministers of both nations would meet to put the agreement’s terms into action, arrange for the return of ambassadors, and discuss ways to improve bilateral ties.

They also agreed to put into effect the Security Cooperation Agreement and the General Agreement for Cooperation in the Areas of Economics, Commerce, Investment, Technology, Science, Culture, Sports, and Youth, both of which were signed by the two nations on May 27, 1998.

According to the Saudi Press Agency, the talks held in Beijing from March 6–10, 2023, were a result of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s initiative and were based on a deal between President Xi and the leaders of Iran and Saudi Arabia, according to which China would host and sponsor talks between the two nations.

Admiral Ali Shamkhani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, led the delegation there, while Dr. Musaad Al-Aiban, Minister of State, Member of the Council of Ministers, and National Security Advisor, led the delegation from the Kingdom.

The Saudi and Iranian parties expressed their gratitude and appreciation to Iraq and Oman for serving as the venues for rounds of talks between their respective sides in 2021–2022. The leadership and government of China received praise from both sides for hosting and financing the discussions as well as for its efforts to ensure their success.

The three nations emphasized their eagerness to use all available means to strengthen regional and global peace and security.
