The chief envoys of Saudi Arabia and Iran will meet on Thursday in Beijing. The two regional rivals are working on mapping out the next steps in their diplomatic rapprochement amid a China-brokered deal.
Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian will be the first official meeting between the highest-ranking diplomats of Saudi Arabia and Iran in more than seven years.
After years of hostility that fueled conflict in the Middle East, Tehran, and Riyadh have agreed to end a diplomatic rift and reopen embassies in a China-backed deal.
