RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received on Saturday a phone call from Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

During their call, they discussed a number of issues of concern to both countries and also discussed the next steps in the recently agreed China-brokered deal.

It is the latest in a series of calls between the two ministers since talks hosted by China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing last month ended with an agreement to restore diplomatic relations.

Iran and Saudi Arabia spent four days in talks in Beijing between March 6 and March 10.
