Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Monday that conditions have been created for the reopening of Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran.

This came in statements made by Nasser Kanaani at a weekly press conference in the Iranian capital, Tehran, commenting on the latest developments in the resumption of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, according to the website of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He said that based on the initial steps taken by a Saudi technical team that visited Iran in April, the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and the Consulate General in Mashhad, northeastern Iran, will reopen in the near future.

Kanaani added that, in light of an invitation made earlier by Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullahian to his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, the chief Saudi diplomat will make a trip to Iran in the near future.
