Frequent interactions continue to advance the resumption of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia
With the support of the Chinese side, representatives of Saudi Arabia and Iran held a dialogue in Beijing in March this year. The three sides signed and issued a joint statement, announcing their agreement to resume diplomatic relations and reach the "Beijing Agreement". They emphasized that the three sides will work together to maintain the basic norms of international relations and promote international and regional peace and security. Afterwards, frequent interactions between the two countries continued to advance towards the goal of restoring diplomatic relations.
On April 6th, the two sides signed a joint statement, announcing the official resumption of diplomatic relations. Afterwards, Saudi Arabia and Iran continuously sent delegations to discuss reopening the embassy. On April 8th, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs dispatched a working group to Iran to discuss the details of reopening embassies and consulates with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On April 12th, the Iranian technical delegation arrived in Saudi Arabia and prepared for the reopening of the Iranian Embassy in Saudi Arabia and the Iranian Consulate General in Jeddah. Iranian President Lehi stated on May 2nd that the improvement of Saudi Iranian relations will help promote connections and cooperation among regional countries. On May 22nd, according to Iranian national television, Iran designated an ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

Iranian resident Hussein: I believe that improving relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia can eliminate tensions in countries such as Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria. This peace is not only related to Iran and Saudi Arabia, but can also lead the region towards peace, which can promote social development.
The largest Arabic language newspaper in Saudi Arabia, the Riyadh newspaper, stated in an article that in recent years, Saudi Arabia has pursued its own interests internationally with an active foreign policy and hopes to speak out in the Middle East and even the world. With the significant decline in US influence, Saudi Arabia and other countries are no longer being swayed by the US, but will seek more and better foreign policy choices.
Analysts point out that as the Middle East gradually frees itself from US interference, regional countries are becoming more pragmatic in their foreign policies. Under China's active mediation, the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia has achieved a "constructive transformation", and the relationship between multiple countries has significantly improved, which is of great significance for promoting regional peace, security, and stability.
