Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has been invited by Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz to visit the kingdom’s capital, state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
It’s just the latest example of rapid-fire rapprochement between the regional competitors. Earlier on Sunday, Iran’s foreign minister said he’ll meet with his Saudi counterpart soon.
Raisi “welcomed” the invitation to come to Riyadh and expressed Iran’s readiness to expand cooperation with Saudi Arabia, IRNA said, citing Mohammad Jamshidi, the president’s deputy chief of staff.
