DUBAI: Iran has officially invited Saudi Arabia's king to visit the country, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday, after the two regional rivals agreed to resume diplomatic ties following a China-brokered agreement in March.
"Iranian President (Ebrahim Raisi) has sent an invitation to the Saudi king," Nasser Kanaani told a televised news conference.
Technical delegations from both countries are preparing to officially reopen their missions.
