Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian says that Saudi Arabia has appointed its new ambassador to Tehran, adding that Saudi Arabia's embassy in Iran will open within the next few days.

Iran will soon do the same, Amirabdollahian told IRNA on Thursday without naming the new Saudi envoy to Tehran. 

On March 10, Iran and Saudi Arabia issued a joint statement in China announcing that they would resume their diplomatic relations after seven years of tensions.

Then, the officials said the two countries will re-open their embassies within two months.
