Iran and Saudi Arabia's top diplomats hold breakthrough meeting in Beijing, the first such high-level talks between the two countries in more than seven years
First official meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries in more than seven years came a month after Tehran and Riyadh agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations and reopen embassies by May.
Saudi Arabia's state-run Al-Ekhbariya TV showed Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian shaking hands and sitting side by side during Thursday's meeting in the Chinese capital.In a joint statement following the meeting, Faisal bin Farhan and Amirabdollahian said that their agreement to normalise ties would help bring "security and stability" to the Middle East.
It also comes as diplomats have been trying to end a long war in Yemen, a conflict in which both Iran and Saudi Arabia are deeply entrenched. After years of hostility that had fuelled conflicts across the Middle East, Tehran and Riyadh agreed to end their diplomatic rift and re-open embassies in a major deal facilitated by China last month.
