TEHRAN (HRNW) – Iranian envoys have returned to the Saudi-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, in the first such diplomatic move since the two countries cut ties in 2016, the foreign ministry announced Monday.
“The delegation is now in Jeddah (western Saudi Arabia) to start its work at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said at his weekly news conference.
This “can be a good prelude for the two sides to send delegations to visit their embassies”, he added.
The Iranian delegation have arrived in Jeddah but “haven t attended any meetings yet”, an OIC official told on condition of anonymity.
Tehran s diplomats are expected to attend a sub-ministerial meeting on January 23, he added.
