TEHRAN,– A quadrilateral meeting of the ambassadors of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Syria in Oman was held in the Iraqi embassy in the Persian Gulf Sultanate on Tuesday, Iraqi local media reported.
The Iraqi ambassador to Oman has reportedly said that during the meeting in Muscat, he and the other three ambassadors discussed the major chances that are awaiting the regional countries in the light of peace.
The meeting takes place less than a month after top security officials from Iran and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement in China to restore relations after seven years.
Tehran and Riyadh severed ties in 2016 after angry protesters rushed into Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran following the Saudi execution of a prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr.
Foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia are also expected to meet within the next couple of weeks to reopen embassies in the two capitals.
