The
signing of the agreement and the phone calls brought in a friendly atmosphere
among members of the diplomatic corps of the two countries all over the world.
The month of Ramadan witnessed the meeting of the ambassadors of the two countries
in Iraq and Norway for Iftar banquets, which confirms the progress in
activating the Beijing agreement and the return of relations to normal.
Saudi Ambassador to Iraq Abdulaziz Al-Shammari attended an Iftar
banquet hosted by the Iranian Ambassador in Baghdad Muhammad Al-Sadiq on
Tuesday. A number of ambassadors accredited to the Iraqi capital also attended
the Iftar.
On her part, Saudi Ambassador to Norway Amal Yahya Al-Moallimi
hosted the annual Ramadan Iftar banquet in the presence of the Iranian
Ambassador Ali Reza Yousefi, along with the heads of Arab and Islamic
diplomatic missions accredited to Norway.
The Iranian ambassador said in a statement on his Twitter
account that it was a pleasure to participate in the Iftar party of Saudi
Ambassador Al-Moallimi at her residence. The recent agreement opened a new
chapter in the friendly relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
The first meeting between the foreign ministers of the two
countries is expected to take place in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, which hosted
meetings and dialogues between the two sides last year, or the Omani capital
Muscat, which also hosted rounds of Saudi-Iranian talks.
There is also a possibility of hosting the historic meeting
in the Chinese capital Beijing in view of its key role in turning the page on
the differences between Tehran and Riyadh, and its brokering of the agreement
to restore diplomatic relations that were severed in 2016.
Saudi Arabia, Iran and China reached an agreement in
Beijing, which stipulates the resumption of diplomatic relations between Riyadh
and Tehran and the reopening of their embassies and consulates within two
months, according to a joint statement, issued after the signing of the Beijing
deal.
